About the EENP
1 The National Environment Agency (NEA), Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) came together to launch the Energy Efficiency National Partnership (EENP) programme on 29 April 2010. It is a voluntary partnership for companies that aspire to be more energy-efficient, thereby enhancing their long-term business competitiveness and reducing their carbon footprint. The EENP aims to support companies especially those under the ambit of the Energy Conservation Act (ECA), in their energy efficiency efforts through learning network activities, energy efficiency-related resources, incentives, and recognition. To complement the ECA and to support the EENP, NEA launched the Energy Efficiency Programme Centre (EEPC) in 2013 as a one-stop resource to assist companies that may need help in implementing the ECA, adopting best practices in energy efficiency, and integrating energy efficiency as a strategic management tool.
