About Demand Manager

Demand Management is about doing more with less. Reducing energy and water consumption in the commercial sector can often lead to significant financial savings as well as improved environmental performance.

In Australia, Governments are increasingly supporting organisations that reduce demand through a multitude of voluntary and market-based incentives. Some $1.9 billion is available in NSW alone to make energy and water use more sustainable.

Demand Manager Pty Ltd was launched by former NSW Premier, the Honorable Bob Carr in 2006. It is a new company established to help NSW businesses, councils and government agencies make practical gains in energy and water efficiency by helping to connect with the various state and federal demand management programs.
