Overview

The Australian Federal Government's Clean Energy Plan was released on 10 July 2011 and a draft package of legislation was released shortly after this on 28 July 2011. It has a proposed start date of 1 July 2012.

The Clean Energy Plan will impose legal obligations and responsibilities on certain large emitters, including requiring them to purchase emission units from the Government. As larger emitters pass on their costs, other businesses will be indirectly affected.

This guide outlines in detail how the Plan will introduce significant changes to the Australian economy and how these changes will affect many Australian and overseas businesses.
