AGL and Origin Energy have urged the Victorian Government to adopt NSW-style arrangements for exempting large companies from energy efficiency scheme costs.
The Victorian Government today announced plans to extend state-wide a statutory financing mechanism for building upgrades, while similar legislation in South Australia is yet to clear State Parliament.
The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage is on the hunt for energy efficiency experts, issuing a new tender just days after the Baird Government flagged a stronger focus on cutting energy costs if it wins the March 28 election.
The Baird Coalition Government if returned to power at the March 28 election has promised to spend $3.5 million helping companies to cut gas bills and $16.1 million encouraging them to benefit from its Energy Savings Scheme.
