NSW Water and Energy Savings Action Plans
The NSW Government's water and energy savings initiatives encourage business, government and households to use water and energy more efficiently.
The initiatives include new requirements for certain high water and energy users to prepare Water and Energy Savings Actions Plans. The plans involve assessing current water or energy use and identifying ways to save.
The $340 million Climate Change Fund has also been established to provide financial support for business, government agencies and local councils to implement projects which will save water or energy.
Mandating cost-effective savings measures
Under the NSW Government's Energy Efficiency Action Strategy, high energy users will be required to implement cost effective energy savings measures identified in their Energy Savings Action Plans.
