The forum brought together over 100 representatives from consumer advocacy groups, government, regulators, infrastructure organizations and energy providers to explore electricity supply options for inner Sydney. Speakers from TransGrid, Ausgrid, CSIRO and the City of Sydney discussed the current regulatory framework and need for incentives for non-network alternatives. There were calls to overhaul regulations to support energy efficiency initiatives and reduce consumption, particularly for heating and cooling through targeted measures, which modeling shows could impact usage levels by 2020.

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
