About the Assessment Plan

EEO Home | Contact

A template is available to assist corporations in compiling an Assessment Plan for Energy Efficiency Opportunities. Also, examples of Assessment Plans are available for the transport  [DOC, 338KB] and mining  [DOC, 368KB] sectors.

Following registration, corporations must prepare an Assessment Plan. An Assessment Plan covers a five-year assessment cycle and comprises:

  • an outline of corporate structure and related information
  • quantitative energy use and savings data
  • an assessment schedule that outlines how and when the corporation intends to conduct assessments
  • a reporting schedule that outlines how, where and when the corporation intends to report to the public and the Department.

An Assessment Plan must be submitted within 18 months of the end of the trigger year. Corporations that used more than 0.5 petajoules of energy during 2006-07 must submit an Assessment Plan by 31 December 2008. More information on Assessment Plan is published in the industry guidelines.

Early submission of schedules is encouraged to enable participants to proceed with conducting assessments as soon as possible. Once complete please ensure the declaration is signed and all necessary attachments are included and post or deliver the schedule to:

Assessment & Reporting Schedule

Energy and Environment Division
Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism

or e-mail to: energyefficiencyopportunities@ret.gov.au. If sent by e-mail, ensure the declaration is signed and be aware that e-mail is not a secure format.

The Energy Efficiency Opportunities legislation has been amended to address an anomaly in the legislation regarding the timing of Assessment Plans.
