Energy prices and atmospheric temperatures are rising - from July 2010, electricity prices are expected to rise by 13.6%, due to a regulated increase. On top of this, electricity prices are expected to rise a further 18% with the introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and gas prices by 12%.

Energy is a key controllable operating cost, if an organisation hasn’t actively managed energy before, there could be savings of up to 30% p.a. from a targeted programme. As energy is a direct operational cost, savings can therefore convert directly to profits. Managing energy better could result in a direct improvement to business financial performance for long term benefit.

This course will provide an excellent opportunity to gain strategic insights into the proven methodologies and in-depth processes for establishing effective and sustainable energy management programmes. Furthermore, with the mandatory disclosure coming into play, it is imperative to be brought up to speed now!
