This report examines how demand side measures are considered in the policy development process across government with an aim to:

• Examine the challenges to policy design that arise as a result of increasing demand side activity in an energy system which has historically been based around delivering supply side energy outcomes.

• Identify where additional work may need to be undertaken by government and industry to better understand the impacts that arise as demand side activity increases.

• Explore what steps may need to be taken to ensure that local considerations related to the implementation of the demand side are adequately accounted for in national policy.
