Energy measures could save $40b: report

Sydney Morning Herald 21 Sept 08 Renewable energy targets and energy efficient measures need to be included in an emissions trading scheme to save the electricity sector more than $40 billion, the Climate Institute says.

Modelling commissioned for the Climate Institute reveals improvements to energy efficiency and the federal government’s renewable energy target (RET) would reduce the long-term cost of reducing emissions from Australia’s electricity sector by billions of dollars.
