It was a big night at the Energy Efficiency Council National Conference Gala Dinner, where the 2025 EECFounded in 2009, the Energy Efficiency Council (EEC) is a not-for-profit membership association for businesses, universities, governments and NGOs. It focuses on building a market for energy management products and services that delivers: healthy, comfortable buildings; productive, competitive businesses; and an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system for Australia. Award winners were announced — a celebration of innovation, leadership, and impact across Australia’s energy management community.
We extend our congratulations to all the nominees and winners, and proudly highlight G&K O’Connor, supported by Northmore Gordon, for taking home the EEC Leading Energy Management Project: Industrial award. Their winning project, ‘Closing the Loop on Red Meat Processing Energy and Emissions’, is a testament to what’s possible when strategic vision meets deep technical expertise.
Over the past three years, it has been a privilege to work alongside GKO — helping navigate complex energy challenges and drive real emissions reductions in one of Australia’s most vital industries.
A heartfelt thank you to Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) for their support, and congratulations again to all involved. This recognition reflects the dedication, innovation, and collaboration that continue to shape a more sustainable future.
