Prime Minister's Task Group on Energy Efficiency
The former Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd established a Task Group on Energy Efficiency to advise the Australian Government, by mid-2010, on options to improve Australia’s energy efficiency by 2020 (see the former Prime Minister's media release).
The Task Group will deliver its recommendations to the Prime Minister through the Minister for Climate Change, Water and Energy Efficiency and the Minister for Resources and Energy.
In preparing its recommendations, the Task Group will focus on the most economically, environmentally effective and socially inclusive energy efficiency mechanisms that can deliver a step-change improvement in energy efficiency by 2020 and place Australia at the forefront of OECD energy efficiency improvement.
To inform and advise the Task Group, the Government has established an Advisory Group with experts from industry and non government organisations.
