To the E3 Program Committee
Consultation on the review of 4 determinations under the
Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Act 2012.
We have reviewed the Consultation Documents related to the above determinations,
and make the following responses. We prepared the original RIS that led to the
adoption of MEPS for Distribution Transformers (in 2002, prior to the GEMS Act)
and are familiar with the other products.
1. We support the recommendations foreshadowed in the Public Consultation Paper:
Review of the GEMS Power Transformer Determination:
• a full analysis to determine the costs and benefits of increasing the MEPS and
labelling requirements.
• the current determination to be retained in the meantime.
2. We support the recommendation in the Public Consultation Paper: Review of the
GEMS Set-top Boxes Determination: that the current determination be permitted to
expire on 1 April 2023.
3. We support the recommendations foreshadowed in the Public Consultation Paper:
Review of the GEMS Computer Monitors Determination:
• a full analysis to determine the costs and benefits of increasing the MEPS and
labelling requirements.
• the current determination to be retained in the meantime.
4. We support the recommendations foreshadowed in the Public Consultation Paper:
Review of the GEMS External Power Supplies Determination:
• a full analysis to determine the costs and benefits of increasing the MEPS and
labelling requirements.

Yours faithfully
