The Commission has released the 2013 REES Annual Report. The Report assesses the overall performance outcomes for REES in 2013.

The Report analyses REES activities in a number of ways, e.g. comparing the contribution of each activity to the overall target, by priority and non-priority groups, by nature of tenure and by location of premises. All energy audit and greenhouse gas reduction (energy efficiency) targets have been met in aggregate for 2013 with all retailers having accrued energy credits to carryover to subsequent REES years.

Based on the 2013 outcomes, the expectation is that retailers will be able to achieve their 2014 targets. Accordingly, there is the potential for activity levels to be markedly lower during 2014, especially for those retailers that have carried over large numbers of credits from 2013. The Government has announced that REES will continue for a further six years, until 2020.
