National Framework for Energy Efficiency (NFEE)

In August 2004, the Ministerial Council on Energy announced a major advance nationally for energy efficiency, productivity and the environment, by agreeing a comprehensive set of measures comprising NFEE Stage One. NFEE Stage One includes "foundation" measures to establish the building blocks of NFEE. It consists of nine integrated and inter-linked policy packages which extend, or further develop, a range of cost effective energy efficiency measures that are currently being implemented at a national or jurisdictional level. Stage One builds on the existing capacity and capabilities developed by jurisdictions with an increased focus on national coordination.
