The Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) program is an initiative of the Australian Government, states and territories and the New Zealand Government. These groups combined to deliver a single, integrated program on energy efficiency standards and energy labelling for equipment and appliances.
The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act came into effect IN 2012, creating a national framework for product energy efficiency in Australia. The GEMS Act is the underpinning legislation for the program.
No sunset for GEMS determinations
AREMA was advised in September 2022 that the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Determinations do not sunset.
To reduce energy bills for households and businesses in a cost effective way by driving improvements to the energy efficiency of new appliances and equipment sold;
To improve the energy efficiency of new appliances and equipment that use energy and to also improve the energy performance of products that have an impact on energy consumption; and
To reduce appliance and equipment related greenhouse gas emissions through a process which complements other actions by jurisdictions.
