Energy Futures
for policy and projects in evolving energy markets
Throughout the world, the energy sector is currently experiencing the most significant changes in its history.
Microeconomic reform is being implemented in many countries with the introduction of competition into energy markets which previously were operated by monopoly businesses. There is considerable debate about the effectiveness of these reforms.
At the same time, widespread concern about global warming is placing significant pressures on energy industries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts.
In these turbulent times, there are many opportunities for those businesses, industry associations and governments which are committed to sustainable energy outcomes.
Energy Futures Australia has been established specifically to assist our clients to identify and realise these opportunities.
