The demand for efficient energy management solutions is at an all-time high. As our reliance on digital technologies continues to grow, the need for sustainable and cost-effective energy management solutions has become increasingly pressing.
In Australia, the upward trajectory of energy consumption remains a significant concern. According to recent reports, the nation’s energy usage has been steadily rising over the past decade, driven primarily by industrial and residential sectors. With a growing population and increasing reliance on electronic devices, the need for sustainable energy management practices has become more crucial than ever.
In Australia, the trends in energy consumption mirror global patterns, with increasing electricity demand driven by factors such as population growth, urbanisation, and the rise of digital technologies. According to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), electricity demand in the National Electricity Market (NEM) is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.1% from 2023 to 2030. This growth highlights the need for effective energy management and sustainable solutions to meet future demand.
