The Energy Savings Industry Association is Australia's peak national, industry association representing and self-regulating businesses that are accredited to create and trade in energy efficiency certificates and participate in energy savings schemes across the country including Victorian Energy Upgrades Program, NSW Energy Savings Scheme, SA Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme, ACT Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme and the national Climate Solutions Fund. Energy savings schemes facilitate the installation of energy efficient products and services to households and businesses by providing upfront financial incentives based on energy savings that will be delivered. These schemes are one of the most successful mechanisms for delivering energy savings at lowest cost greenhouse gas abatement. The ESIA advocates for certificate-based energy savings schemes across Australia: for annual target increases, for more energy savings activities to be included and for extension beyond current end dates. The ESIA engages with governments to enhance the schemes. ESIA member companies represent the majority of certificate creation within the schemes and energy savings industry market leaders. New members are welcome including certificate creators, product suppliers and other service providers.
