When Australia hosts the
G20 Leaders' Summit
in November, a top agenda item for its “Brisbane Action Plan” will be
“practical actions to improve productivity and competitiveness”
.
Here's a good place to start: tapping the
billions of dollars
of savings available to Australian businesses and consumers, with a goal to double our energy productivity.
Other G20 members – notably China, Europe and the United States – are recognising that improved energy productivity is vital to their competitiveness. Will Australia be left behind? …

Energy productivity:
The neglected competitiveness issue
…
and the easiest for policy makers to address
Both State and Commonwealth governments see boosting productivity and competitiveness as core to their reform agendas. For the first time, energy is being seen as an integral element in that agenda as Governments try to address specific competitiveness issues caused by recent electricity price escalation and the current major gas price increases to limit loss of manufacturing jobs.
The 2XEP Forum brings together leaders in each sector of the economy to discuss how we can double our energy productivity to directly address all these challenges, as well as oil supply security and meeting our carbon reduction targets.
The 2XEP Forum provides a unique opportunity for policy makers, advisors and industry, environment, transport and energy departmental officers to hear and interact with many key leaders in a concentrated two days. Gain a better understanding of the issues and expand your network at the Forum on Energy Productivity.

Protecting Australian Competitiveness
Governments around the world are implementing policy to cut carbon emissions and energy costs at the same time.
Europe
and
China
have aggressive plans to do more with less energy.
Meanwhile, President Obama has committed to double U.S. energy productivity by 2030 (view video).
It is estimated that doubling energy productivity in the U.S. could deliver $327 billion in savings and 1.2 million jobs (view video): the benefits would be no less significant to the Australian economy.
