National Greenhouse Response Strategy

Progressive restructuring of the electricity and gas industries led to greater competition amongst generators, supply efficiency improvements, and innovative promotion of renewable energy. Continued energy market reform is a key element of Australias greenhouse response and of the NGS. Further reforms outlined in the NGS include the delivery of consistent and compatible national frameworks for gas and electricity and removal of barriers to grid connection of small-scale generation, such as cogeneration and renewable sources. Programmes under the NGS include the Renewable Energy Promotion Programme, the Energy Card Programme, and the establishment of the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Renewable Energy (ACRE). The NGS has been superseded by the National Greenhouse Strategy (NGS)
