Zembl joins the Energy Efficiency Council

Zembl has joined the Energy Efficiency Council (EEC), Australia’s peak body for energy management and energy efficiency. Zembl has been accepted into the EEC’s member panel, joining established organisations such as ABB, Schneider Electric, AGL and Siemens.

This is more than a logo or a membership line. It is a clear signal of how Zembl operates, where we are headed, and what our customers can expect as energy decisions become more complex heading into 2026 and beyond.

“Joining the Energy Efficiency Council strengthens our ability to be strong advocates for our customers and to help Australian businesses unlock the full value of energy efficiency. It is a natural extension of our vision to be the trusted partner for Everything Energy, supporting customers through every stage of their energy journey.” Shashank Parikh, Energy Solutions Manager

What is the Energy Efficiency Council

The Energy Efficiency Council is the peak industry body for Australia’s energy management sector. It represents organisations delivering energy productivity, efficiency, electrification and decarbonisation outcomes across the economy.

The EEC works at the intersection of policy, industry, and implementation. Its focus areas include:

• Driving policy on energy efficiency, electrification and demand flexibility

• Supporting businesses and households to decarbonise in practical ways

• Providing research, tools and trusted energy efficiency content

• Delivering training and certifications for energy professionals

• Convening industry leaders, policymakers and solution providers

Its members include technology providers, utilities, infrastructure companies, and large energy users. Zembl has joined as a corporate member, placing us alongside some of the most established names in the energy sector.

Why Zembl joining the EEC is different

Joining the EEC reflects how Zembl approaches energy differently. Our focus has always been on long-term outcomes, not just short-term pricing.

Being part of the EEC places Zembl alongside organisations shaping how energy is managed, priced and regulated in Australia, and recognises the role we play in helping businesses navigate an increasingly complex energy landscape.

This reflects how Zembl operates in practice. We do not just compare rates. We manage energy across procurement, intelligence and efficiency, and we help customers navigate an increasingly complex market with confidence.

Being part of the EEC formally recognises that role.

What this means for Zembl

Joining the Energy Efficiency Council strengthens Zembl’s position as the most trusted business partner for everything energy.

It gives us:

• Early visibility of regulatory and policy changes affecting energy markets

• Direct engagement with industry leaders shaping efficiency and electrification outcomes

• Access to market intelligence that informs how pricing, demand and flexibility evolve

• Opportunities to collaborate with leading organisations on practical energy solutions

This ensures our advice stays current, credible and grounded in how the energy system is actually evolving.

What this means for Zembl customers

For customers, this membership translates into better decisions and fewer surprises.

Energy is no longer just about price. Regulatory change, demand charges, electrification and flexibility are increasingly shaping what businesses pay and how they operate.

Through the EEC, Zembl stays ahead of these shifts. That means:

• Advice that reflects where policy and regulation are heading, not just where they have been

• Stronger guidance on efficiency, electrification and demand management

• Early awareness of changes that could affect contracts, tariffs or operating costs

• Access to emerging tools, frameworks and best practice approaches

For small businesses, this helps keep energy simple and avoids businesses being left on prices that no longer suit how they operate.

For larger commercial and industrial businesses, it supports smarter procurement, risk management and long-term planning.

Collaboration and practical outcomes

EEC membership also opens the door to collaboration that benefits Zembl customers directly.

This includes opportunities to:

• Co-develop practical energy efficiency content and resources

• Collaborate on projects focused on reducing energy costs and emissions

• Co-host Zembl-led events with industry and policy leaders

• Bring trusted training and insights into the Zembl ecosystem

The focus is always practical. Less theory, more outcomes.

A clear signal of where Zembl is heading

Joining the Energy Efficiency Council is a milestone, but it is also a signal.

Energy decisions are becoming more complex as Australia transitions its energy system. Businesses need partners who understand pricing, policy, efficiency and operations, not just contracts.

Zembl’s role is to sit in the middle of that complexity and make it manageable. This membership reinforces that commitment and strengthens the advice we provide every day.

If you want to understand how these changes affect your business, or how to prepare for what comes next, a conversation with a Zembl energy expert is a good place to start.
