The EEC is the peak body for Australia’s energy management sector. A not-for-profit membership association, EEC works to:

• Drive world-leading policy on efficiency, electrification and demand flexibility;

Three key areas are critical to the transformation of Australia’s economy, and they underpin how we can drive change:

• Workforce development:

• Professionals and tradespeople need training and skills to roll out energy upgrades across Australia. We champion jobs and skills through EEC Professional Certifications and other EEC programs, uniting government and industry to build the capacity and capability of Australia’s energy management professionals.
• Business decarbonisation:

• Businesses need support to translate net-zero ambition into action. We work with our partners to provide strategic insights and best practice frameworks that allow businesses to credibly realise net-zero.
