The Continuing Opportunities Report for 2011 has just been released. The report summarises company results from EEO corporations reported to the end of June 2011. It indicates that companies are implementing projects reported to deliver 88.8 petajoules of energy savings, worth an estimated $800 million a year.
Data used to compile this report will be fed into a more detailed examination of results that will be released in the third quarter of 2012.
The Continuing Opportunities Report 2011 is available for download from the Continuing Opportunities Report 2011 page.
Voluntary Participation by Medium Energy Users
In its July 2011 Securing a Clean Energy Future package, the Australian Government announced it would allow voluntary participation in the Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) Program by companies below the 0.5 petajoule threshold.
From 1 July 2012, interested companies can sign a voluntary agreement to participate in the EEO Program.

Trials and revised timing for the expansion to electricity & gas transmission and distribution businesses and new developments & expansion projects
The Minister for Resources and Energy, the Hon. Martin Ferguson AM MP, has announced revised timing for the expansion of the EEO program to network businesses and new developments and expansion projects to 1 July 2013
The revised timing is in response to industry feedback on the need for more time to consider the expansion. This will enable further consultation and trials with industry to better inform how the program should be applied and to gather additional data for the regulation impact statement.
