This project is focused around the ACOSS people-centered vision for the Australian energy system, supporting national reform to address housing energy performance.
This Project builds strong, coordinated, collegiate, and evidence-based advocacy for ACT small energy consumers and leverages the ACT’s early adopter role to distil and communicate lessons for other jurisdictions and the AER. It strengthens community sector capacity to ensure the transition to net zero emissions is fair, fast and inclusive.
The Green Electricity Guide was developed to help inform Australians about which electricity retailers are really as ‘green’ as they say they are. It is the only independent analysis and ranking of the environmental performance of all electricity retailers around Australia. It is an important source of information for consumers keen to support retailers who align with their values. It is also intended to drive improved performance by retailers as Australia’s electricity system is gradually decarbonised.
Energy Consumers Australia provided a grant to the Brotherhood of St Laurence to research how to make the transition away from gas cheaper and fairer for households facing disadvantage.
Energy Consumers Australia provided funding to the Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS) to address the connection between energy hardship and poor health.
This briefing paper has been prepared by the First Nations Clean Energy Network in preparation for the Stakeholder Workshop regarding the October 2024 electricity outage in Northern SA.
The First Nations Clean Energy network has members in the Flinders Ranges and Northern Flinders Ranges that were impacted by the power outage in October 2024. Community members experienced hardship through the loss of power – resulting in loss of food, inability to warm and cool homes, risks to medicines needing refrigeration and the costs of using personal diesel generators and the stress of the impacts of not knowing how long the outage would go for.
