Our Chair Carmel Donnelly was awarded the Public Service Medal in the Australia Day Awards.
Her medal is for outstanding public service to regulatory reforms in New South Wales.
It’s well deserved recognition of her leadership in implementing reform, most recently as CEO of the State Insurance Regulatory Authority.
Most of us and the rest of the people of NSW have benefited from her work including holding our workers compensation insurer to account and reduced insurance premiums for our green slips.
The Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) was established in September 2021 to incentivise activities that reduce peak demand for electricity in NSW households and businesses.
High demand puts significant pressure on the electricity system which can lead to price spikes, or in the worst situations, blackouts.
The scheme – which is administered by IPART - encourages consumers and businesses to be more conscious of peak electricity use by creating incentives to cut their energy usage at peak times during summer.
More information is available on the Energy Saving Scheme website.
