The ACT Government does not have access to this information. While the ACT Government works closely with Evoenergy to understand energy usage in the ACT, Evoenergy is not obligated to provide information to the ACT Government at the level of detail required to respond to this question.

Product efficiency standards are coordinated at the national level through measures such as Commonwealth’s Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program. The ACT Government has considered the relative performance of different products in the development of the Strategy and supporting programs, such as the ACT Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme.
For example, analysis under the E3 Program indicates that electric water and space heating appliances are more cost effective than gas appliances when lifetime fuel costs are considered. Additionally, modern electric appliances such as electric heat pumps are considered more efficient than gas at delivering heat for residential applications.
