Government sustainability

Energy use in the Australian Government's operations

The Australian Government is reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by adopting measures to improve energy efficiency, and by so doing, leading the community by example.

The Government's policy, Energy Efficiency in Government Operations (EEGO) Policy, requires the preparation of an annual whole-of-government report on the total energy use and estimated greenhouse gas emissions of Australian Government departments and agencies. The reporting process is subject to public scrutiny through tabling of the report in Parliament.

Reports from 1997 to 2005 reflect the previous policy, Measures for Improving Energy Efficiency in Commonwealth Operations.
