The FINANCIAL -- The National Energy Savings Initiative Working Group has released the National Energy Savings Initiative Working Group Issues Paper for public comment.

Under the Clean Energy Future plan the Australian Government committed to do further work to investigate the merits of a national Energy Savings Initiative. The plan states that the further work on a national Energy Savings Initiative will be 'the subject of detailed policy analysis, economic modelling and consultation with the community, industry and state and territory governments'.

This Issues Paper is an important element of the Working Group’s consultation process. The Issues Paper seeks the views of individuals and organisations on issues pertinent to the Australian Government’s consideration of a national Energy Saving Initiative, including design and implementation considerations.

Economic and energy market modelling will be a valuable input to the Working Group’s further analyses of a national Energy Savings Initiative.
