The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) promotes a sustainable energy future by changing the way New Zealanders think about and use energy. EECA works to raise community awareness of energy efficiency issues and provides businesses and individuals with the tools to make changes. EECA develops programmes to meet the needs of specific markets, often working in partnership with other organisations.
EECA is the main body responsible for helping to deliver the Government’s extensive energy efficiency agenda. Its function is to encourage, promote and support energy efficiency, energy conservation and the use of renewable energy sources. It has developed the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy in conjunction with the Ministry for the Environment.
EECA has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Electricity Commission that specifies how the two organisations will work together to promote electricity efficiency.

Pusat Tenaga Malaysia (PTM) is a not-for-profit company. During its formative infancy, PTM will be administered by the Ministry of Energy, Communications and Multimedia (MECM), Malaysia. PTM is also governed by a Board of Directors (BOD) which sets its policy directions.
The rationale behind PTM's establishment is to fulfill the need for a national energy research centre that will co-ordinate various
activities, specifically energy planning and research, energy efficiency, and technological research, development and demonstration (R,D&D) undertaken in the energy sector due to the long lead time for energy projects to come on stream.
In fact, PTM will eventually become a one-stop focal point for linkages with the universities, research institutions, industries and other various national and international organisations on energy matters.
