An Australia-focused workshop on Policies for Energy Provider Delivery of Energy Efficiency (PEPDEE) was held at the University of Sydney on December 12, 2011. The workshop was delivered by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) in cooperation with the Australian Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) and Department of Resources, Environment and Tourism (DRET).

PEPDEE facilitates IEA and IPEEC member cooperation and knowledge-sharing on how energy providers can assist gas and electricity customers to save energy – and what regulators and governments can do to mobilize such efforts. PEPDEE’s objective is improved collaboration by all stakeholders on regulatory mechanisms and programme designs that deliver energy efficiency improvements.
