Energy and Climate Justice

Access to reliable, affordable energy is a basic need.

Yet many Territorians, especially in remote and very remote communities, struggle to afford the power needed for safe, healthy and comfortable living.

The combination of poverty, extreme heat, poor housing, overcrowding, and chronic illness makes energy insecurity a serious equity issue. Climate change will intensify these challenges unless urgent action is taken.

Every household deserves access to affordable energy and the opportunity to benefit from renewable solutions.

NTCOSS calls for action to advance energy and climate justice, including:

• Improved governance and protections for prepaid energy customers
• A fairer, more accessible concessions system
• Greater energy efficiency in homes
• Expanded access to renewable energy
