Since its incorporation in July, 2002 the Sustainable Energy Association of Australia (SEA) - formerly the Western Australian Sustainable Energy Association Inc. (WA SEA) - has worked to support and promote the growth of the sustainable energy industry across Australia.

SEA is an enterprise level industry body, and it continues to grow its political influence and relevance, as well as its depth of business networks as we grow and frequency and diversity of business events to match the diversity of members' interests. In particular, SEA has a strong reputation in Australia for authoritative commentary and advocacy on a broad range of energy efficiency and sustainable energy issues - many examples of our contribution can be found on this website.

SEA's office has professional full-time staff working on advocacy and lobbying, and our enterprise members are obviously significant employers as well as project developers across all sectors with interests in sustainable energy.

SEA is the only industry body advocating substantive action on sustainable energy in each and every sector of industry. A core responsibility of the Association is to promote the development of sustainable energy across all sectors of Australia's economy, in all regions of Australia.

As a business chamber, membership is open to all enterprises wanting to support action on climate change through the deployment of sustainable energy solutions either as suppliers or as customers. A listing of our diverse membership is available under the Member tab above

With over 400 members, SEA is one of Australia's largest energy chambers.
