to power up consumers on energy
use
Australia now has the opportunity to make
transformative changes to our electricity
market to put power in the hands of
consumers and businesses, according to the
Chief Executive of Australia’s peak clean
energy industry body.

2. “We are facing an imminent need to
‘rethink energy’ to keep prices low and
improve our energy productivity –
particularly at peak times,” Clean Energy
Council Chief Executive David Green told
a conference in Sydney today.
“A Quick Thought: Solar Panels or
solar electricity panels is an electrical device
that converts the energy of light directly into
electricity by the photovoltaic effect. “

3. “A unique set of complex challenges
are currently facing our energy
market, and we must act soon to
meet these challenges by
empowering consumers and
businesses to take control of their
energy use,” Mr Green said.

4. Speaking at the Australian Summer Study on
Energy Efficiency and Decentralised Energy in
Sydney, Mr Green outlined the clean energy
industry’s vision for smarter, cleaner power
networks that allow energy to be generated by
multiple sources, and individuals and communities
to generate their own power.
“Allowing households to generate their own
electricity through things like rooftop solar panels
has already been shown to alleviate the impact of
peak demand in many states, reducing the need for
costly infrastructure upgrades,” Mr. Green said.

5. “Energy storage and smart appliances can also
make a significant difference to peak demand.
A simple measure like automatic air-
conditioner cycling, where your air-
conditioner is routinely switched off remotely
to cut power usage without affecting the
temperature, has been shown to reduce its
energy use by 25 to 33 per cent.
“Clean energy has a strong role to play both in
giving consumers a way to generate their own
power and also keeping the costs of energy as
low as possible.

6. “Science, society and economics all say that
change in our energy market is necessary to
slow the rapidly rising price of electricity and
ensure we have a safe, stable and secure
source of energy well into the future.
“With well-considered, consumer-centric
policy development and a focus on energy
efficiency and clean energy technologies,
energy market reform becomes a hurdle we
can comfortably clear.”
