COAG is committed to energy efficiency. 

The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) has reaffirmed its commitment to introducing a comprehensive National Strategy for Energy Efficiency and signed a Memorandum of Understanding for energy efficiency, with a commitment to consider signing an Intergovernmental Agreement on the National Strategy at its next meeting. As well, it agreed on the design of a Renewable Energy Target Scheme to achieve a 20 per cent share of renewables, or some 45,000 gigawatt hours, in Australia’s electricity mix by 2020.
