A guide to improve energy efficiency at your YMCA Aquatic Centre
Aquatic Centres use an enormous amount of energy. But with efficiency measures, YMCA Spark pilot site Peter Krenz Aquatic Centre managed to cut electricity use by 8.5% and identified opportunities to save a further 20%. This Aquatic Centre found that by being more energy efficient and making some smart energy investments, they could have a reduction off their energy bills of at least $30,000 per year.
A Guide to the Treasury Laws Amendment (Prohibiting Energy Market Misconduct) Bill 2019

Achieving Low Energy Existing Commercial Buildings in Australia Report
Energy Ministers agreed on the Trajectory for Low Energy Buildings in 2019. This is a national plan that aims to achieve:
- zero energy and carbon ready buildings in Australia
- the National Energy Productivity Plan target of improving energy productivity by 40% by 2030
The report identifies 6 options to achieve this.
The report is by the former Department of the Environment and Energy and the COAG Energy Council.

AEMO Generator Replacement Study
Disclaimer: AEMO’s assessment does not consider price outcomes.
The Liddell Taskforce was required by its Terms of Reference to model the impact on wholesale and retail power prices from Liddell’s closure, and the options identified to maintain similar price, reliability and security outcomes. In addition to economic modelling undertaken by Frontier Economics, the Taskforce sought advice from Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to look at the extent to which different generation and storage options would meet 2025 system needs.
Analyses of diesel use for mine haul and transport operations - several companies
This case study demonstrates analyses of diesel use in trucks by trending energy data over time, development of models and simulations, use of indicators, and benchmarking, including theoretical benchmarking. It also shows how an Energy Mass Balance (EMB) has been applied to rail operations and provides examples of comprehensive analyses of diesel use in mining operations used by Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, Downer EDI Mining Pty Ltd and Leighton Contractors Pty Limited. It was developed through these companies' participation in the Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) program.
