Why an Energy Efficiency Forum?
 Urgent need for a concerted effort to improve energy efficiency,
particularly for larger commercial electricity users
 Steeply rising electricity tariffs mean facility managers, owners need
to reduce operating costs
 Risk of power cuts and carbon emissions are very costly to
business, to the economy
The EE Forum is a platform for practical knowledge on energy
efficiency solutions and action and shared learning
