Summary

This document Guide to Preparing Regulatory Impact Statements (RISs) for the National Appliance and Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (NAEEEP) has been prepared by George Wilkenfeld and Associates Pty Ltd for the National Appliance and Equipment Energy Efficiency Committee (NAEEEC) for use by consultants as the main reference for writing a RIS for Ministerial Council on Energy (MCE) initiatives.

The Guide consists of three distinct parts as follows:

Part 1 describes the process of preparing a RIS, and the purpose and structure of the RIS document.
Part 2 describes a general method for projecting costs and benefits, and comparing them with the business-as-usual projections. It sets out the requirements for presenting the results for each State and Territory and for New Zealand. It specifies the cost elements that need to be incorporated and clarifies the differences between the consumer and societal perspectives. It suggests approaches to the assessments of impact on various groups of customers ('distributional factors'), and on suppliers and market intermediaries.
Part 3: Appendices, which incorporates information necessary for the production of an effective and efficient document, and includes:
- Regulation Impact Statements prepared for NAEEEP;
- Energy prices
- Greenhouse gas emissions factors;
- Population and household numbers; and
- Standard formats for output data.
