“Nobody has all the answers, we need to share best practices internationally and work together” - like California 🇺🇸 working with Denmark 🇩🇰 on industrial energy efficiency. Hear more about what’s happening around the 🌎 in #energyefficiency at the #EESummit22 online Thurs 6/10

Great to hear from fellow @dartmouth alum, @CalEnergy Commissioner Andrew McCallister, about what CA has accomplished in #energyefficiency and what Australia 🇦🇺 can learn - thanks for journeying across the ocean to nerd out with the @EECouncil and our members! 🤓⚡️

Joint statement time. It's long so here's the TL;DR: Lots of sensible folk who get energy + focused on consumer outcomes agree apocalyptic energy prices demand: - Immediate $ support for vulnerable - Rapid investment in EE + fuel switching - Accelerating rollout of clean energy
Energy Efficiency Council@EECouncil

The @EECouncil joined other peak bodies to ask Energy Ministers to work together to calm energy market chaos and reduce prices and emissions in the long term by lifting energy efficiency, energy management and fuel switching See the statement here: eec.org.au/news/eec-news/…

There is opportunity, there is momentum, and there is DIRE need for change. As @AnnaCollyer13, Chair of the Energy Security Board & @the_AEMC said, we know where we want to go, now we just need to set the plan to get there: “seize the day - we’re in this together” #AEW22

Speakers at today’s #AEW22 plenary sessions were amazing, shedding light on some of the real challenges - and exciting opportunities - presented by the #energytransition. I’m not a great live-tweeter so I couldn’t do a running update, but here are some of my key takeaways

And beyond protecting customers from price volatility, as @ClareSavage17, Chair of @aergovau noted, #EnergyEfficiency needs to be first cab off the rank for decarbonising the energy system since “the unit of energy you don’t use is the unit you don’t need to abate”

With prices skyrocketing in Australia, following the trends seen in Europe, #energyefficiency and #demandmanagement must be the first lever we pull to ensure affordability, reliability and security of our energy system and protect customers from the worst impacts of this crisis

Excited to be at #AustralianEnergyWeek, hearing about the way the industry is tackling the #EnergyTransition and driving a #NetZero energy system, partnering with government, customers and communities to ensure a swift and just transformation. Could not be more pressing!

Apparently I joined twitter 13 years ago today! Not sure what I was doing here at 16 -def not adding any deep social commentary-but I hope to use this platform more to share the work being done in #EnergyEfficiency to achieve #NetZero - watch this space! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Last year we outlined why and how the long boom of climate tech was just getting started. Well, it got started, it got funded (2–3x the previous year), and the scaling is in full effect: the 2020s are shaping up well to be the Decarb Decade. Here’s our top 10 for this year👇🏽
