EREP is a new, innovative regulatory program to help businesses to reduce water, energy and waste generation. The program is designed to support business efforts to improve the way resources are used, and importantly save businesses money.
The EREP Regulations came into effect on 1 January 2008, requiring any commercial or industrial site that uses more than 100 terajoules of energy or 120 megalitres of water in a financial year, to register for the EREP program before 31 March 2008.
To assist businesses assess whether they are required to register, EPA has developed an on-line self-assessment and registration system. This system is available online at www.epa.vic.gov.au/erep along with background information to the program, and a range of other resources.
The EPA will be running a number of briefing sessions in February to help businesses understand their requirements under the EREP program and answer any questions that they may have. If you are interested in attending such a briefing, , please contact the EREP team on 9695 2722 or at erep@epa.vic.gov.au
