Answer

I am advised that for the 2025/26 financial year, EECA spent $1,266,000 on related expenditure for contractual arrangements under Carbon Neutral Government Programme (M037) and $809,000 under the related State Sector Decarbonisation Fund (M034). EECA also spent $17,000 over the 2025/26 financial year to comply with the Carbon Neutral Government Programme as an organisation. As an Independent Crown Entity, the Electricity Authority is not mandated under the Carbon Neutral Government Programme.
