Have your say

We are committed to achieving the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program objectives of improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs for consumers and businesses. To do this we undertake continual improvement of our program through: 

  • regular review of existing legislation and requirements 
  • revision and development of new energy efficiency standards and regulations. 

Consultations with community and industry stakeholders are a vital part of our review and development processes. The consultations we undertake ensure any proposed changes to Determinations are feasible, effective, and will deliver tangible benefits for consumers and businesses. 

Depending on the nature of the project, we may undertake consultations through: 

  • public forums 
  • invitations for formal submissions 
  • our online consultation hub. 

We value your knowledge and experiences and would appreciate you sharing them with us. Your input can help shape our energy efficiency requirements and continually improve our program and projects. 

Check the list of open consultations below for opportunities to get involved.

Your feedback will help us to finalise the regulatory approaches taken to improve lighting energy efficiency. We want to let you know about the proposed changes to lighting requirements and hear how these changes may affect you.
