Late last year (on 21 December 2009), the ACT Minister for Energy released for discussion the ACT’s Draft Sustainable Energy Policy 2010-2020.
The draft policy sets out ideas for reducing the ACT’s dependence on fossil-fuel generated electricity with the aim of meeting the ACT Government’s target of a carbon neutral Canberra by 2060.
Consultation is now open and is due to close on 5 March 2010 and the purpose of this email is to invite the North Canberra Community
Council to submit comments on the draft policy.
Attached below are links to the Minister’s media release on the release of the draft
policy and an online link to the draft:
