Energy efficiency target schemes Schemes operate in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and the ACT Covers electricity sector Mandatory price-based schemes that require electricity retailers or suppliers to meet an energy savings obligation, often by undertaking activities to improve energy efficiency or buying certificates that represent energy savings. Each scheme has an energy savings target. NSW scheme is estimated to have reduced emissions by about 2.8 Mt CO2e between 2009 and 2013 (NSW Government 2015) Victorian scheme is estimated to have reduced emissions by about 8 Mt CO2-e between 2009 and 2012 (DSDBI 2014) SA scheme is estimated to have reduced emissions by about 0.64 Mt CO2-e between 2009 and 2011 (Pitt & Sherry 2013) ACT scheme is estimated to have reduced emissions by about 0.24 Mt CO2-e in its first year (Jacobs 2013) Energy efficiency regulations and standards National Applies to electrical goods and building construction Regulations setting: minimum energy standards for appliances, lighting and electrical equipment energy efficiency for buildings in the National Code The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards program (which encompasses standards and labelling requirements for appliances, lighting and electrical equipment) is projected to reduce emissions by 60 to 70 Mt CO2-e between 2014 and 2020 (Databuild 2015) .
