Energy

The Australian Government is committed to the provision of adequate, reliable and affordable energy to meet future energy consumption needs and to underpin strong economic growth, consistent with the principles of environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
Energy White Paper

The development of a White Paper on energy issues was agreed to by the Government in September 2008. This will be a key priority for the Energy and Resources portfolio.

In developing the White Paper, the Government intends to ensure the provision of clean, adequate, reliable and affordable energy supplies to meet Australia’s growing energy needs. This will be integral to Australia's economic prosperity and to ensure Australia reduces its fossil fuel related greenhouse gas emissions.
