In 2017 the Energy Efficiency Council (EEC), Australia's peak body for energy efficiency, cogeneration and demand management, will deliver the National Energy Efficiency Conference 2017 over two days in November.

Now in its ninth year, the National Energy Efficiency Conference has built an outstanding reputation as Australia’s flagship event for energy efficiency, distributed generation and demand management.

The Conference will bring together Australia’s foremost energy efficiency experts, forward-thinking policy makers, innovative energy users, political leaders and industry trailblazers to network, debate and analyse the latest thinking on boosting productivity by saving energy.

Over the last twelve months, concerns around the reliability, sustainability and affordability of our energy system have put energy on front pages across the nation. As policymakers grapple with the long term challenge on the supply side, governments and energy users are turning to the cost effective solutions that exist behind the meter – energy efficiency, demand management and distributed generation.

The theme for 2017 – Security. Affordability. Productivity. – underlines the crucial role demand side measures play in guaranteeing energy security and keeping energy affordable.

Attendance at the Conference has been increasing steadily over time; in 2016, we smashed all records, welcoming over 400 delegates through our doors, and we expect very similar numbers in 2017.
