Meanwhile, a new report is highlighting some of the practical steps local households can take to improve the energy efficiency of our homes and lower our energy bills.
The report by the Energy Efficiency Council and ANZ outlines immediate and long-term actions, focusing on thermal efficiency, behavioural changes and the use of smart controls.
Among the examples is the use of effective insulation which can help reduce the cost of heating and cooling by as much as 45%.
