Environmental
The environmental aspect of energy trading is firmly in the spotlight.
Way back in 2001, the Federal Government introduced the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET for short) to encourage the establishment of a Renewable Energy Indusrty. While the initial target (2% of all electricity consumed to be sourced from new renewable energy) was easily achieved, the incumbent Rudd Labor Government has now legislated an expanded RET at 20% by 2020.
Besides RET, there are a number of other Federal and State based mandatory and voluntary environmental schemes which are all aimed at achieving a reduction in Greenhouse gases. Nextgen enjoys strong working relationships with regulators, policy makers and participants.
As the only independent broking company to be dealing exclusively with energy, Nextgen has developed the expertise and contacts to ensure that we are across every legislative change, every trend and every development. We understand what's here, we know what's coming and we can explain the implications to you. Over the past ten years, we have pioneered many of the environmental broking practices that are only now being understood and implemented by others.
Among the services we provide in the area of environmental energy broking are a forum for all interested participants including generators, retailers, end use customers and other industry organisations to disclose and match their requirements; and a reliable, extensive source of existing and potential green energy suppliers.
As the expanded Mandatory Renewable Energy Target and the National Emissions Trading Scheme become a reality, Nextgen is perfectly positioned to be the central point of reference for all parties. After all, Nextgen has pioneered many "firsts" across the environmental landscape including the first transfer of environmental credits between Australian and European companies.
