Lighting — updated policy positions document released for comment
The Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program has released a Lighting — Updated policy positions document for stakeholder comment. The document provides an overview on the feedback received on the Lighting Consultation Regulation Impact Statement (CRIS) released in November 2016, updates policy positions and provides a basis for further consultation with industry, community and other stakeholders. It also provides more technical detail on some proposals outlined in the CRIS.
The program is inviting interested stakeholders to provide feedback on the policy positions document, including responses to the questions posed. The closing date for written submissions is 5 pm AEDT, Thursday, 12 October 2017 and should include the subject: ‘Lighting — Updated policy positions’.
Feedback on this document will inform preparation of the Decision RIS (DRIS). The DRIS will be submitted to the Council of Australian Governments’ (COAG’s) Energy Council and the New Zealand Government to decide whether to implement the policy proposals and update and introduce new energy efficiency regulations for lighting products. The DRIS is expected to be considered by energy ministers at the end of the year.
