Building market strength
In the rapidly evolving clean energy market, where there is considerable complexity, expert information is of critical importance to investors, project developers, financiers and regulators as they consider large-scale and long-term investments.
During 2018–19 we stepped up our efforts to assist market participants to better understand the emissions and financing benefits of clean energy investments. See Figure 19.
In a joint initiative with the Energy Efficiency Council and the Australian Industry Group, we were pleased to develop a comprehensive resource to assist manufacturers implement practical and proven strategies to deliver energy and cost savings. In the majority of technologies and solutions featured in the Australian Manufacturing: Gas Efficiency Guide, up-front investment costs were $50,000 or less, with the costs recovered within just five years.
Distributed energy in the property sector – today’s opportunities provides property investors, owners and managers with guidance on how to benefit from on-site solar, batteries and metering technologies as part of the long-term management of their energy needs.
Biogas opportunities for Australia, provides comprehensive information on how Australia can benefit from biogas, a secure, continuous and dispatchable source of energy that can contribute to national energy supply.
