Frequently asked questions

Premises in each state are governed by different schemes, which set the amount of value we can create from the regulated activities. The value we can create in VIC is much higher than NSW for a number of reasons, including the average type of fuel burned to generate electricity is more CO2 intensive in VIC than in NSW, and the long history of the NSW scheme has reduced savings opportunities, for example by enabling free distribution of about 26.9 million CFL light globes in 2004-2011.

The Energy Savings Scheme, also known as the ESS, is the NSW-based energy efficiency scheme, is designed to reduce energy consumption in NSW by providing financial incentives for NSW households and businesses. The scheme was established in 2009 under the NSW Electricity Supply Act 1995.

An energy savings certificate, or ESC, pronounced ‘esky’, is essentially a digital environmental certificate represented by an alphanumeric number. Each certificate represents 1 tonne of CO2e (converted from MWh or GJ of energy savings)
