Clean Energy Future Plan
The previous government's Clean Energy Future package pulled together a range of existing programmes and measures, including those programmes that were funded through the Clean Energy Initiative (CEI). The Clean Energy Future package supported research, development, demonstration and deployment of clean and renewable energy technologies. The current Australian Government repealed the Clean Energy Future Plan along with the the carbon pricing mechanism as part of the repeal of the Clean Energy Act 2011, effective 1 July 2014. The carbon pricing mechanism will be replaced with the Direct Action Plan.
