As part of the Government's plan for a clean energy future, the Government has announced the continuation and expansion of the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program. This includes:

  • extending base funding for the program out to 30 June 2017
  • expanding the program to include energy transmission and distribution networks, and major Greenfield and expansion projects, as recommended in the 2010 Prime Minister's Task Group on Energy Efficiency
  • establishing a voluntary scheme for medium sized energy users.

The Department will work with industry stakeholders to explore how the program will be implemented to address these new elements.
