12 Implementation Program

The Australian implementation program is show in Table 10

Table 10: Proposed Implementation Plan for Recommendations

Obviously if this program has been adhered to, New Zealand is somewhat behind, particularly in becoming deeply involved in any standard making. Because New Zealand is more responsive than Australia, some catch up may be possible, so that Items 7-12 could still be achieved with no more than six months slippage. Full implementation could be achieved by the end of 2006.

13 Summary and Conclusions

Televisions use around 320 GWh per year in energy, and the current stock of TVs is less efficient than present day sets, being largely CRT-based. Newer LCD slimline sets can offer reduced power consumption, but even within a particular set type there is a range of energy use depending on the efficiency of the designs used, and the consumers’ preferences for the type of set chosen.

The Australian Greenhouse Office has decided to introduce a voluntary MEPS and labelling scheme for TVs for implementation by October 2006. This is designed to encourage the removal of the worst performing 30% of sets presently being offered for sale on the retail market. There are equivalent benefits for New Zealand in introducing a similar scheme, and indeed implied obligations under the TTMRA to do so.
