For decades, cheap and abundant energy has driven growth in the Australian economy. Not anymore. Electricity prices have doubled in the past 7 years, and business anticipates doubling in gas prices over the next 3 to 4 years. A combination of high energy prices and low energy productivity means that Australia’s competitive advantage in energy costs has rapidly eroded. Without a major improvement in energy productivity, our economy will suffer and energy dependent businesses will be lost to Australia in increasing numbers.

Australian governments are prioritising actions to improve Australia’s productivity to ensure our competitiveness and prosperity. In the past, productivity policy has focused almost exclusively on labour and capital, but as energy prices rise and carbon constraints bite, our future prosperity depends on using energy and energy infrastructure more efficiently. This Forum confronts this critical challenge:

How do we double Australia’s energy productivity (2XEP) by 2030?
