EnergySave - Learn how to make a difference

1. We estimate your electricity and natural gas consumption based on your selections entered in Step2 of the home energy profile. The estimate is based on EnergyAustralia's energy efficiency studies which model expected average appliance usage patterns for each home profile.
2. This electricity emissions calculation is based on the annual electricity consumption estimated multiplied by the full fuel cycle Emission Factor for NSW/ACT as published by the Department of Climate Change in Table 5 of the National Greenhouse Accounts Factors, (Jan 2008) “the NGA Factor”.
   
   Note for residential EnergyAustralia customers: EnergyAustralia is transitioning to the NGA Factor to calculate the emissions shown on your bill. During the transition period, this calculator will show emissions for your electricity usage approximately 4% higher than those shown on your bill, which are based on the NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme pool coefficient emission factor adjusted by the published loss factor for EnergyAustralia’s network distribution area to include electricity transmission losses.
3. This natural gas emissions calculation is based on the annual natural gas consumption estimated multiplied by the full fuel cycle emission factor as published by the Department of Climate Change in Table 2 of the National Greenhouse Accounts Factors, Jan 2008 “the NGA Factor”.
   Note for residential EnergyAustralia customers: EnergyAustralia is transitioning to the updated NGA Factor to calculate the emissions shown on your bill. During the transition period, this calculator will show emissions for your gas usage approximately 7% lower than those shown on your bill, which are based on the full fuel cycle emission factor for NSW/ACT as published by the Australian Greenhouse Office Factors and Methods Workbook (Dec 2006)
4. Based on NSW Dept. of Planning BASIX Benchmark for average NSW annual greehouse gas emissions from the residential sector equal to 3,292 kg CO₂ per person per year (Apr 2006)
5. The dollar savings for electricity are based on the GST inclusive rate of 13.97 cents/kWh, which is the lower of the two electricity rates of our 2008-09 Domestic All Time tariff. The dollar savings for off-peak electric hot water systems are be based on the GST inclusive rate of 5.83 cents/kWh for OP1 or 9.24 cents/kWh for OP2, which are the electricity rates of our 2008-09 Controlled Load tariffs.
   Note that these are single consumption tariffs. This calculator is not set up for PowerSmart or Time-of-Use tariffs.
   The dollar savings for gas are based on the GST inclusive rate of 1.6599 cents/MJ, which is the lower of the two gas rates of the 2008-09 NSW AGN Alinta Network Residential Gas tariff.
   These savings do not include daily service availability charges. These rates are listed on your bill. Your actual savings may be lower or higher than these estimates.
6. Calculation of emission savings for free-of-charge low-flow showerhead is based on installation of a 3 star (WELS) showerhead with a life of 7 years and supplied from a hot water system using standard electricity supplied from the NSW grid. Reference NSW Greenhouse Gas Benchmark Rule (Demand Side Abatement) No.3 of 2003, Schedule A Table 1.
7. Calculation for free-of-charge energy saving light bulb is based on installation of an 8,000 hour Compact Fluorescent Light, which replaces an incandescent light bulb, and operates 4.4 hrs per day using standard electricity supplied from the NSW grid. Reference NSW Greenhouse Gas Benchmark Rule (Demand Side Abatement) No.3 of 2003, Schedule A Table 1.
8. Based on paragraph 4.7 of the National GreenPower Accreditation Program: Program Rules, version 4, January 2008.
