5
Over to you
► How would you define energy efficiency?► What are the main sources of global energy and their
contribution to overall energy usage percentages?► What does energy efficiency mean to your organisation?
6
Energy Efficiency
What is energy efficiency?
► Energy efficiency primarily refers to end-use efficiency. ► It involves delivering equal or greater levels of “energy
services” with less energy supply.► Energy services include cooling, heating, lighting, driving
motors, operating equipment and appliances.
8
The boundary
The electricity supply chain
9
The boundary
End-use energy efficiency delivers benefits across the
electricity supply chain
10
Energy efficiency example
Why is this important?
11
Business risks
► Managing rising costs► Carbon pricing► Compliance with legislation► License to operate
12
Rising electricity costs
13
Managing rising costs
► Think about impacts to future electricity costs:► Carbon scheme► Uncertain fuel prices supplying electricity generators► Minerals Rent Resources Tax► Extension of the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax
14
► Carbon price from 1 July 2012 fixed at $23► Growing at 2.5% real terms in 2013 and 2014 ($24.15 and $25.40)
► From 2015 a flexible price determined by market (cap and trade)► Price floor established - $15 (growing)► Price ceiling established - $20 above the International carbon
price
15
Clean Energy carbon pricing systemCore design elements
► Carbon price from 1 July 2012 fixed at $23► Growing at 2.5% real terms in 2013 and 2014 ($24.15 and $25.40)
► From 2015 a flexible price determined by market (cap and trade)► Price floor established - $15 (growing)► Price ceiling established - $20 above the International carbon
price
► Increased costs in the supply chain ► = flow through impact on your business► Energy efficiency is the most cost- effective way of reducing the
impact of a price on carbon
16
Clean Energy carbon pricing systemCore design elements
Compliance
Some relevant current legislation:► National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 ► Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006► Renewable Energy (Electricity) Bill 2009► Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 ► Energy and Utilities Administration Act 1987 No 103 ► NSW Water and Energy Savings Action Plans► Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (formerly Trade
Practices Act 1974)► And other accounting, reporting, and auditing standards
17
Compliance
► Exposure draft ISAE 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements
► Environmental Claims in Advertising and Marketing Code► ISO and other quality assurance guidelines
18
Business Risk: Licence to Operate
Some stakeholder perspectives:► Investors – Can energy efficiency provide a proxy
indicator of good management?
► Community – Why isn’t this organisation acting on cost effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
► Regulators – Perceived market failures justify intervention
19
How are leading organisations responding?
20
Industry Case Studies
► NAB – achieved carbon neutrality in Sept 2010, this has driven their energy efficiency & GHG reduction programs
► Rio Tinto Iron Ore – At Yandicoogina the business case for metering was developed over a 6 month period by the site electrical engineer
► Foster’s – energy efficiency projects have been driven by a 10% target to reduce energy consumption per unit of production by 2011 compared to a 2007 baseline
21
The role of the accountant and business manager
Your role:
You are key to effecting and supporting any change within an organisation towards becoming more energy efficient.
► What energy efficiency initiatives exist within your organisation?
► What do you see as the barriers to implementing more energy efficiency measures?
► How can your role support your organisation adopting a more sustainable business strategy and implementing more energy efficiency projects?
► What additional skills do you believe you need to effect such measures?
What does it mean to be a ‘change agent’?
23
What is change management?
24
Change management is a structured approach to shifting / transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state.
It is an organisational process aimed at helping employees to accept and embrace changes in their current business environment.
Not to be confused with:
In project management, change management refers to a project management process where changes to a project are formally introduced and approved (e.g. change requests to project scope or funding).
Hiatt, Jeff. "The definition and history of change management". http://www.change-management.com/tutorial-definition-history.htm. Filicetti, John (August 20, 2007). "Project Management Dictionary". PM Hut. http://www.pmhut.com/pmo-and-project-management-dictionary.
Why is change management needed?
25
1. Simple change....
The Group Property function in an organisation changes all light-bulbs to energy efficient light-bulbs.
2. More complex change....
Individuals are asked to reduce their stand-by consumption from appliances at work and business units are asked to purchase energy efficient equipment (which is more expensive than other choices)?
What is changing for individuals and how much assistance is needed to help them embrace / embed this change?
Many theoretical approaches
Kotter (2006) eight stage process
Stage 1: establishing a sense of urgency
Stage 8: anchoring new approaches in the culture
Stage 7: consolidating gains and producing more change
Stage 2: creating the guiding coalition
Stage 3: developing a vision and strategy
Stage 6: generating short-term wins
Stage 5: empowering broad-based action
Stage 4: communicating the change vision
26
Galpin (2006) the change management process model
Many theoretical approaches
Stage 9: measure, reinforce and refine changes
Stage 1: establish the need for change
Stage 8: roll out changes
Stage 7: prepare recommendations for rollout
Stage 2: develop and disseminate a vision of the change
Stage 3: diagnose / analyse the current situation
Stage 6: pilot test recommendations
Stage 5: detail recommendations
Stage 4: generate recommendations
27
A simple approach to Change Management
28
Who is impacted and
what is the plan for change?
What are the outcomes that
are sought from the change?
Are business leaders and sponsors engaged?
Change Execution Communications
Business Outcomes Planning
Stakeholder Engagement

Starting Point:
Deployment comms
Stakeholder comms
► Communications Plan
► Stakeholder Engagement Plan
► Change Strategy► Impact
Assessment► Change Plan
Starting Point: Identify the desired business outcomes?
Starting point for your Change Management activities:
► Identify the business outcomes desired from the project or the change.
Current StateDesired Future
State
Describe in terms of:► Business KPIs► Operational KPIs► Behaviours
Discussion: how would you describe the future state if you are asking individuals to switch off their appliances instead of
using stand-by?
29
Business outcomes versus benefits realisation?
30
Organisation-wide benefits:
► Lower emissions► Lower energy
consumption
Operational business outcomes / changes in business practices:
► Lower energy technology is adopted
► Fuel efficient practices are adopted
► Computers are turned off at night
Changes in individual’s behaviour:
► Individual chooses to turn off computer at night
► Individual chooses to drive company vehicle more efficiently
Focusing only on the financial business case will not deliver
change
Business outcomes also help promote the changes
31
Business outcomes should be the starting point for your change planning.
Additionally, they…► Promote the case for change► Turn cynics into supporters► Build momentum► Can pay for the investment in any change► Create a unified cause – brings people together under a common objective► Maintain focus and help guide away from disruptive interventions
Change Planning
32
Change Planning typically involves three steps and three formal outcomes:
Change Strategy
Change Impact
Assessment (IA)
Change Plan
► Typically required for large change projects where cost estimates for change activities are required as a part of project funding request
► Critical document► Describes for all
impacted processes what the change will be for that process
► Defines all the activities to help each impacted process transition from the current to the desired future state
Discussion....
33
(i) Individuals are asked to reduce their stand-by consumption from appliances at work; and
(ii) Business Units are asked to purchase energy efficient equipment (which is more expensive than other choices)?
What should be considered in the Change Impact Assessment?► What behaviours need to change? How do you make the change
sustainable?► What enforces / encourages these changes in behaviours?► What benefit is there for individuals / the Business Units?
Who needs to take action to make this change happen?► Who is best to drive / lead this change, and why?► Who would be the most appropriate Change Sponsor and why?
