The ESIA opposes all propose options in the VEU Lighting Activities Issues Paper.(ESIA Submission PDF)
The ESIA would prefer a more ambitious target, Option 5 over Option 4, which would be achievable with: extended lighting, a priority household target and streamlining of project-based methods. (ESIA Submission PDF)
As a priority, the ESIA seeks a strong continuation of commercial lighting through to the end of 2025 and does not accept either proposed phaseout option 1 or 2.
The ESIA is very encouraged that the targets are proposed to be increased and activities expanded. We recommend a greater target ambition under Option 5 (a further 4 million tonnes of abatement) rather than the Government’s preferred Option 4.
