Assessment and Reporting Schedule (ARS)
WorkshopsJune and July 2007

Policy Objectives

• 2004 Energy White Paper under the National
  Framework for Energy Efficiency

Aims Improve business productivity and
competitiveness Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Reduce unnecessary demand on energy
infrastructure

Unlocking the potential

• Potential for energy efficiency has always been
  high
• Legislation requires large energy users to look
  for cost effective opportunities to reduce energy
  use
• Integrate energy efficiency into your business
  by

• Understanding where, how, and how much energy is
  used (conducting assessments)
• Giving due consideration to outcomes of
  assessments (public reporting via the Board)
• Look for synergies with existing business
  activities

Participation by sector
No. of companies by sector
Percentage of energy use by sector
Note Based on estimated energy use supplied by
companies at registration. Not all companies
indicated exact energy use. Accurate energy use
not required at registration.

Who is participating and how much energy do they
use?
Participating businesses use over 60 of business
energy end use and around 45 of Australian
energy end use

Company Results to Date

• 4 Trial Companies 3 manufacturing sites 8
  mining sites
• Energy a large percentage of costs so already a
  focus
• Willing to give it best shot - try new approaches
  build on existing ones.
• Midland Brick energy savings 4-8, 5000
  households, 19,000 tonnes CO2
• Orica site - 1 million savings
• Benefits gt Costs
• What might be the impact ? - if everyone takes
  this approach

7
Broader Policy Context Emissions Trading

• Emissions Trading Scheme no later than 2012
• Market - least cost means to lowering emissions
• Energy efficiency appears to provide lowest cost
  abatement opportunities net economic benefit
• Some market barriers may reduce with introduction
  of carbon price
• Assessment Audit programs role to play in lead
  up to ETS increasing awareness of energy savings
