Enact Energy launched its Australian operation in October 2008, with the help of UKTI. Enact has been established in the UK for 14 years, delivering the highly successful Heat Project, which provides ceiling and cavity wall insulation to households. In July 2008, Danny Morgan, then Director of International
Business Development (now Managing Director of Enact Australia), visited Australia to investigate opportunities for establishing a division there. He was looking to emulate the Heat Project’s success with something called the Green Project, an Australian version of the scheme, which would encompass insulation and other energy effi cient products and services. He planned on doing so by leveraging off state-based carbon abatement schemes, a potential Federal
Government energy effi ciency scheme and also by using UKTI’s networks. At the time of Mr Morgan’s visit, carbon abatement
schemes were active in South Australia and Victoria and the launch of the Federal Government’s Energy Effi cient Home’s Package (EEHP) and NSW Energy Savers Scheme was only a few months away. The EEHP has since provided Australian householders with millions of dollars in fi nancial rebates and incentives to assist them to make energy effi cient improvements to their homes. The state-based carbon schemes continue to provide energy effi ciency products and services to householders in South Australia, Victoria and now in New South Wales. During the set-up period, UKTI put Enact in contact with
