Contributing to the Government's aim of energy security is the National Energy Security Assessment (NESA). The NESA identifies key strategic energy security issues in the liquid fuels, natural gas and electricity sectors currently, and those likely to influence the level of energy security in 5 years (2013), 10 years (2018) and 15 years (2023).
An election commitment of the government, the NESA collates and analyses available information and provides an assessment of energy security. The assessment considers how the identified strategic issues could affect adequacy, reliability and affordability in each of the energy sectors.
One key consideration in the NESA is the Government's twin objectives of energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the NESA will provide a key input into the development of energy policies, including the Energy White Paper.
