Getting the priorities right

A range of top speakers from Australia

and abroad will present their

views on these issues.

Getting the priorities rightT H I S W I L L B E T H E T H E M E F O R 2 0 1 5

Integrating energy policy and climate policyHow can this be done without crippling investment in the energy industry and damaging the economy? Or shouldn’t we try?

Getting to a low carbon societyBy when and how can we make the transition?

Missing from the Government’s Energy Green Paper is any realistic articulation of the role that Australia could play in helping the world to make the transition progressively and affordably.

The eastern Australia gas market When is the gas going to run out and what will happen then?

Nuclear energyIt may take a decade to develop. Will we be needing it? Will it have any effect on climate change?

Getting rid of excessive politicisationHow do we bring state and territory governments into the tent?

How do we encourage innovation?Will a policy of technology diversity and neutrality work?

Is the Energy Policy Institute on the right track?Does this policy position make sense?

Energy policy in Australia needs to be lifted to ‘investment grade’. This cannot be achieved simply by calling for submissions and publishing an Energy White Paper — it will require a commitment to a three-stage process:

• First, Australia must adopt a long-term Australian energy vision — which should embody four key elements: (1) a resilient energy system, (2) export growth, (3) a low-carbon society and (4) innovation in energy production and supply.

• Second, agreement on the Australian energy vision should be arrived at by an apolitical, bipartisan process of stakeholder participation, involving industry, the community and all levels of government, a process that is not vulnerable to electoral cycles. This is the key to future policy reliability and predictability.

• Third, energy policy should be methodically, transparently and regularly reviewed over the long term, which requires an institutional mechanism to be established for the purpose.

ESON 2015 will debate the answers. Be there and bring your customers with you.

Governments must get their priorities right.

What we stand for• We promote a safe energy investment climate in Australia

• We want Australian industry to be internationally competitive

• We support free market choices within a sound national and global policy framework

• We seek to align all government policies to underpin the sustainability of energy supply

• We postulate that the world must transition to a low-carbon society as quickly as it can afford to do so with policies to facilitate this transition providing certainty for investors.

What we doThe Institute provides a trusted communications channel between government and the private sector.

The Institute conducts policy research and supports the regular strategic review of the Energy White Paper by the Australian Government.

The Institute publishes public policy papers on key issues.

The Institute conducts member briefings and workshops under the Chatham House rule.

The Institute provides a voice for Australian business in international organisations and counterpart bodies.

HistoryThe Institute was formed in 1999 in consultation with the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism to liaise with the Asia Pacific Energy Cooperation (APEC) organisation. It was then called the Energy Alliance of Australia.

In 2005, the Institute initiated the establishment of APGAS, a unique forum to bring together APEC Member States, energy policymakers, regulators, NOCs, oil and gas suppliers and consumers, traders, and pipeline and ship owners/operators.

In 2011, the Institute adopted its present name.
