AFR story on energy efficiency: AGL dissenting view

Today’s AFR has a story on page 12 which talks about the Energy Retailers Association of Australia not supporting a national energy efficiency trading scheme. AGL does not support this position. AGL believes that a national energy efficiency trading scheme is an essential policy tool for improving end use energy efficiency throughout Australia. By articulating a target based upon the best quantitative assessment of energy efficiency available, market participants will be able to select the most appropriate projects to deploy. Over the past decade, AGL has delivered significant energy efficiency savings for many of our customers through activities such as cogeneration. A national energy efficiency trading scheme will assist in delivering more of these activities, delivering value for our customers and the community.
