Abstract
As part of City of Melbourne’s Zero Net Emissions by 2020 strategy, the city has adopted a target to increase the proportion of renewables in Melbourne’s electricity supply to 25 per cent by 2018. On current estimates, renewables currently represent approximately 10 per cent of the mix. Our challenge is to find ways to make up the additional 15 per cent in the next 3 years. In a policy environment where the RET has experienced sustained uncertainty, what influence does a capital city local government have? What approach have we taken to achieving this fundamental shift in our city’s electricity mix? Find out about what the City of Melbourne has learned in terms of effective program design considerations, strategies to successfully engage with customers, as well as program challenges, barriers and solutions. Questions and discussion afterwards welcome.
