Energy Consumers Australia's grants program aims to support not-for-profit organisations in developing and implementing high-quality advocacy initiatives. These initiatives are intended to advance the interests of household and small business consumers within the National Electricity Market. The program focuses on building capability, expertise, and collaborative efforts to address consumer energy issues, ensuring that the specific needs and circumstances of residential and small business consumers are represented in advocacy efforts and policy development.
