Summary

An initial consultation RIS was released in March 2007. Stakeholder submissions called for changes to that proposal, and this revision, taking account of those stakeholder submissions, represents the latest proposed recommendations of energy efficiency regulators to the Ministerial Council on Energy.

This document repeats much of the information contained in the initial consultation draft though it updates material with later data and provides a possible compromise to calls from some stakeholders who seek a delay in the regulatory proposals. This format was chosen to enable interested stakeholders to have a single, self-contained document rather than expecting readers to review the initial and this second Consultation RIS. This format should assist in understanding the compromises offered in this document to the various arguments made by individuals and companies in response to the first proposal.
