(5) Why are there restrictions on tier 2 retailers.
(6) What business consultation occurred during the development of the EEIS.
(7) When did tenders for the EEIS open and (a) how long were they open for and (b) how were the tenders advertised.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Products used in the EEIS must meet the installed product requirements and be registered on one of the following schemes’ product registers: NSW Energy Saving Scheme, Victorian Energy Upgrades Program or Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards.
(2) Electricity retailers select the activities and products to meet their energy savings obligation by choosing between any that meet the EEIS installed product requirements.
(3) Electricity retailers run open tender processes to encourage new suppliers and ensure both value for money and range of choice for consumers. The Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission undertakes a prudency and efficiency assessment of the costs incurred by ActewAGL in complying with its obligation to deliver EEIS activities, including the tender processes it runs.
(4) Suppliers of appliances must be contracted by an electricity retailer to offer services under the EEIS. Suppliers can contact the ActewAGL Energy Efficiency Team to discuss ActewAGL’s installer requirements as well as eligibility to the Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme.
(5) There are no restrictions placed on tier 2 retailers by the ACT Government. ActewAGL is the only tier 1 retailer in the ACT which is obligated to deliver energy efficient activities under the scheme. Smaller tier 2 retailers can opt to pay an energy savings contribution instead of delivering activities.
(6) The ACT Government regularly consults with stakeholders on the development of the scheme, including publishing consultation papers on the website, distributing surveys and hosting an annual stakeholder forum at the beginning of each year. Various businesses and peak industry bodies have been involved in these consultation processes over the last seven years.
(7) The ACT Government does not run procurement processes to deliver EEIS activities. This is performed by electricity retailers.
