"Company reporting on energy use will be easier under a new streamlined system, Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism, Martin Ferguson AM MP, and Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, announced. Regulations governing the Federal Government's Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) program will be amended from 1 July 2008 to enable participating companies to streamline energy use reporting with requirements under the new National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System. The EEO program is a key component of the Government’s push to improve energy use by Australia’s largest energy-using businesses. It requires companies using more than 0.5 petajoules of energy a year to undertake energy efficiency opportunity assessments and report publicly on the results of those assessments and measures planned to reduce energy use. The EEO program covers around 60 per cent of Australia’s total business energy use."
