Resources Energy Tourism Department

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 Sector Group

The Department is responsible for providing secretariat support to the Energy Sector Group (ESG). The ESG is part of the Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN)  for Critical Infrastructure Resilience (TISN), a larger forum in which the owners and operators of Australian critical infrastructure share information on all hazards and interdependencies between their sectors.

The ESG includes representatives from the private sector, state and territory governments and Commonwealth agencies. It considers medium to long-term vulnerabilities to develop infrastructure and organisational resilience in the Australian energy sector. ESG Meetings are currently held twice a year, with activities arising from discussions in these meetings continuing throughout the year.

If you would like further information on this Group, contact the Department via the Contact Us page.
