Research

Energy Consumers Australia conducts a range of research with consumers, from our Consumer Energy Report Card survey (with SEC Newgate) and related analysis reports, to focus groups and vox pops with people across the country. We produce our own policy reports and we also commission expert research when there is an evidence-base gap to enable our ongoing advocacy for households and small businesses.
