 Energy consumed by Western Australian State Government agencies accounts for a substantial portion of the State Government's operating costs. It also plays a significant role on the impact State Government agencies have on the environment through the emission of greenhouse gases.
On 30 June 2002, the Energy Smart Government initiative was announced by the Minister for Energy. The initiative is part of a broader plan by the Government to reduce the cost of running government and the environmental impact of energy consumption. The Sustainable Energy Development Office oversees the Energy Smart Government initiative. However, it is up to Chief Executive Officers of individual agencies to report annual results and ensure program targets are achieved. It is therefore important for energy management to be an integral part of agencies' business management plans.

This site provides information and advice about developing and implementing a tailored Energy Smart management program, including establishing an energy management culture and developing an energy management policy and action plan. Information is also provided to assist agencies monitor and report on their energy use, which is a vital component of the Energy Smart Government policy.
