Energy Efficiency Opportunities (Repeal) Bill 2014

Portfolio: Industry
Introduced: House of Representatives, 15 May 2014

1.1        The Energy Efficiency Opportunities (Repeal) Bill 2014 (the bill) proposes to terminate the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program on 29 June 2014 by repealing the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006. The Act requires large energy-using businesses to assess their energy use and identify cost effective energy savings opportunities and imposes mandatory compliance and reporting obligations on organisations which fall within the program.

1.2        The bill is accompanied by a statement of compatibility which concludes that the 'bill is compatible with human rights as it does not raise any human rights issues.'[1]

1.3                  The committee considers that the bill does not appear to give rise to human rights concerns.
