New push on National Electricity Market

Friday, 09 November 2007 00:31

In 2007 TEC began a new push to give the National Electricity Market (NEM) a human and environmental face.

Historic Energy Efficiency Rule Change Plan - TEC submitted a far reaching proposal to change the rules affecting electricity supply in NEM. The changes would require demand management to be implemented before the expansion of expensive, unnecessary infrastructure in the NEM.  This is would reverse the perverse incentives for wasteful consumption, and would reduce energy bills and greenhouse emissions. 

Power for the People - peak environment and social welfare groups urge social and environmental objectives and annual parliamentary oversight.
