SACOSS and ACOSS commissioned research to better understand the flaws and inequities in existing energy concessions schemes and proposes a new approach that better meets households’ needs. The series of reports looks at what is required to deliver effective energy concessions by modeling a number of concessions scenarios, analysing the potential financial impact on different concession card holders, a budget impact analysis comparing the costs of model scenarios and current budgets for concessions, and proposing policy options and transition strategies to move to new concessions arrangements.
