Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO)

Has your Five Year Assessment Cycle recently commenced? Did you know that you can streamline some of your EEO and NGER reporting data?

Perenia is a leading service provider in the areas of Energy Efficiency, Energy Management and identifying EEO opportunities with over 500 energy projects completed. 

We provide a customised, strategic and practical approach to energy and carbon compliance requirements.

Compliance under the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 (EEO Act)

The EEO Act affects about 250 of Australia’s largest energy users and sets out requirements for large energy users to perform a 5 yearly business assessment cycle focusing on six key elements of Energy Management. Based on many years of experience in Energy Management, Perenia has developed a targeted process for assessing and improving energy efficiency that can be used as a business improvement and cost saving initiative whilst also meeting current legislative requirements.

In-force and applicable legislation:

Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006; and

Energy Efficiency Opportunities Regulations 2006. 

The Perenia approach involves:

  • Assuming the role of facilitator for an “Assessment Team” that supports site management and the nominated “EEO co-ordinator”
  • As the EEO facilitator, providing training and leadership in services that support future project and reporting requirements that clients cannot normally fulfil in-house

  • Perenia uses purpose designed diagnostic and brainstorming sessions to highlight project opportunities and provides spreadsheet tools, calculators and project sheets to allow the client to assess energy use, production benchmarks, GHG emissions, project savings and return on investment.

Perenia has observed that there should be an increased industry focus on the following reporting components:

  • Correct and robust report submission;
  • Correct and identification of opportunities;
  • Application and implementation of opportunities; and
  • Preparation for verification and auditing of EEO data and opportunities.

  • Energy conservation measures and programs
  • Carbon cost curves to rank potential emission reduction projects
  • Energy monitoring and targeting systems
  • Demand side and asset management programs to conserve energy
  • Technology identification and assessment
  • Innovative finance and delivery mechanisms

Streamlining Carbon and Energy Compliance

Are you spending too much on carbon and energy compliance? 

Changes to government policy mean that Australian businesses can save time and money by streamlining energy and greenhouse data management reporting.

The principles that underscore the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Streamlining Protocol present an opportunity for businesses to reduce administrative and operational costs associated with meeting energy compliance guidelines and legislation. Yet many Australian businesses are yet to take action and realise these savings and efficiencies.

Have you applied the principles of the NGER Streamlining Protocol to your business? 

If not, you may be incurring higher costs than necessary.

As a carbon and energy services specialist, Perenia  has the insight and experience to help. We work with leading businesses to streamline their energy and carbon data and management processes and operations into one system.

Perenia brings insight and experience in:

  • Conducting internal system audits and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), energy consumption and production
  • Measuring and reporting GHG emissions, including for project approvals
  • Devising energy and GHG reduction and savings plans
  • Implementing energy and GHG emissions intensity indicators
  • Projecting energy and GHG to help in business planning

Perenia assists clients in managing their carbon impact by balancing corporate objectives and legislative requirements with the demands of customers and shareholders. Each client's unique situation is assessed in detail to develop a comprehensive carbon management solution.

One example of streamlining opportunities 

The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) and the Department of Resources of Energy and Tourism (RET) has streamlined National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System (NGERS) and Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) reporting.

  • Both EEO and NGERS data can be entered into OSCAR. The components that are common to both are only required to be input once (e.g. definition of corporate structure and energy consumption data);
  • The emission factors for both EEO and NGERS are sourced from the NGERS Determination; and
  • Both EEO and NGERS data may be synchronised into the same reporting period, under transfer arrangements.
