Planning Inner Sydney’s Electricity Future Forum 1
Thursday, 19 June 2014

2. Forum Summary
The form held on the 19 June, brought together a range of organisations and experts to explore
electricity supply in inner Sydney and consider some possible initiatives as part of developing a
solution.
Almost 100 representatives and experts gathered to hear speakers from TransGrid and Ausgrid asp p g p g
well as experts from CSIRO and City of Sydney.

6. Definition of energy efficiencygy y
• Energy efficiency can be defined as a reduction in the
d f i i (h i li h i )energy used for a given service (heating, lighting, etc.) or
level of activity.
Th d i i h i i ll• The reduction in the energy consumption is usually
associated with technological change
C l lt f b tt i ti d• Can also result from better organisation and
management
R d d i i t ffi i• Reduced energy services is not energy efficiency
• Energy efficiency versus demand response
