The NEAR Program website is a platform for discovering data, research and reports from across the energy sector. Our focus is on providing you with a single access point to the best resources for understanding what drives and shapes Australian energy consumption behaviour, from individual households and businesses to our national energy use trends. The team behind the NEAR Program curates public data assets, works with data holders to release previously private data, deploys powerful data science techniques to expand the value of existing data, and leads brand new data collection and research efforts to fill critical gaps for the energy sector.
