Influence Grants
Influence Grants support advocacy and research initiatives with a purpose of immediate influence on a specific and achievable goal on matters of material significance to residential and small business consumers. How advocacy and research could be defined are provided below.
This grants stream supports projects that aim to shift energy market practices and behaviours to deliver better consumer outcomes and where a path to success is credible within a fixed period. Applicants must make clear the pathways from the proposed project to influence and long-term impact.
Examples of activities that could be funded through an Influence Grant include:
- engagement in national or jurisdictional policy, regulatory and market design review processes;
- engagement in a network revenue determination;
- rule changes to amend National Electricity Rules;
- developing a network of new consumer voices; or
- undertaking research.
Further information on how Energy Consumers Australia defines advocacy and research can be found in the Grant Guidelines.
