EUAA Welcomes Endorsement of NEG
Emily Wood | August 15, 2018
“Positive endorsement of the NEG in Canberra brings further hope to energy users who want to see the policy implemented,” said Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Richards, from the peak body representing large energy users, The Energy Users’ Association of Australia (EUAA).
“We have an opportunity to implement a bipartisan energy policy to bring to an end the dysfunction that has plagued energy for the last 15 years. We cannot let this opportunity slip away.”
All energy users are feeling the pain from power bills that have skyrocketed following ad-hoc changes to policy and a lack of coordination of the transition underway.
“Coordination and supporting the transformation of our energy system is a key benefit of the NEG. The opportunity to reduce price volatility and unnecessary costs must not be overlooked. We encourage all parties to work proactively and in good faith to support the implementation of the NEG.”
EUAA members represent companies that produce countless essential items that Australians use every day. They have long been calling for bipartisan energy policy to create a framework for a more sustainable, affordable and reliable market.
EUAA members include Incitec Pivot; Nyrstar; Orora Limited; Qenos; Simplot Australia; Bluescope Steel; Shell; Wesfarmers; Woolworths; EnerNoc; Flow Power; Energy Edge; CQMS Razer; SA Water; Gold Coast Airport; Sun Water; Harvey Norman; Sydney Water; Air Liquide and BOC Limited to name just a few.
