Energy Consumers Australia is the independent, national voice for residential and small business energy consumers.
We enable residential and small business energy consumers to have their voices heard by the sector by working with other consumer groups to gather evidence-based research with a national perspective, distil it to key viewpoints, and feed it back to the market to influence outcomes.
Our vision for the market
Affordable energy for households and small businesses.
Individualised energy services that give consumers choice and control.
Optimised energy system that minimises cost for consumers.

Households and small businesses are willing partners in change if provided the tools and support they need – whether that be information, data, new affordable technology or other supports.
