Clean Energy Council

NATIONAL: A new international agreement signed today will see clean energy companies in Australia working more closely with their counterparts in Singapore to help drive regional investment and clean tech development in Asia. Australia's Clean Energy Council (CEC) and the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS) have signed a new cooperative agreement in Singapore today, marking an important step forward in the strategic alliance of the two emerging industries.

CEC Chief Executive Matthew Warren said Australia and Singapore both share significant opportunities to expand their clean energy resources and this agreement will help stimulate new opportunities for both countries. "The endorsement of this agreement by the CEC will bring Australia another step closer towards developing the region's new green jobs market and reducing the impact of dangerous climate change," Mr Warren said.

"As the peak representative body for Australia's clean energy and energy efficiency technologies, it makes sense that we partner with our industry allies overseas to share information and networks," he said. This is the first international agreement signed by Australia's CEC.
