On 4 December 1997, the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) launched the Energy Smart Business program to boost private sector investment in energy efficient technologies and to act as a catalyst in transforming the energy services market within Australia. The program provides both technical and marketing support for companies investing in energy efficiency projects. This paper will describe the market barriers that exist in the Australian business environment which are inhibiting investment in energy efficiency and the strategies developed to overcome these barriers. This will be supported by references to specific projects and the total program impact on the energy efficiency market. Of further interest is the way SEDA has marketed the concepts to industry. In addition, the paper will outline SEDA's goal of market transformation. It will provide detail of the imperfections present in the current market and suggested ways to overcome these. This will focus, with particular interest, on the underlying methodology employed to bring about these changes.
