What is Smart Energy? Smart energy is zero emissions energy – from the sun, wind, oceans, waste. Smart energy is the intersection of information technology and energy – the internet of energy – allowing people to take control of when and how they produce and consume energy. Smart energy is the cheapest form of energy. The Smart Energy Council does not support biomass from native forests. That’s not smart energy. We believe the world is changed by those who show up. Join us in putting energy into action.
Tracing its history back to 1954, the Smart Energy Council is the peak industry body for the solar, storage and smart energy industries. With corporate members across Australia, we are the peak industry not-for-profit organisation committed to clean, efficient, cheap and smart energy solutions. On 22 November 2017 the Australian Solar Council and the Energy Storage Council combined to become the Smart Energy Council.
