EREP Data
Find out who is participating in the EREP program.

The EREP program applies to large energy and water using sites – those using more than 100 TJ of energy and/or 120 ML of water per annum. This is equivalent to the energy usage of 2000 average Victorian households, and the water usage of 2000 Melbournians.

Around 250 commercial and industrial sites are currently participating in the EREP program.

 

 

EREP participants often find that improvements can be made without major capital expenditure, so financial returns are fast. So far, the businesses in the EREP program are set to achieve annual savings of over $70 million. Read more…
