Srian Abeysuriya

Srian leads E3’s presence in Australia and brings together a unique combination of industry expertise, communication skills and client empathy. He has been deeply involved in industry responses to Australian climate change policy, and has led a wide range of projects in the climate change domain for major Australian companies, including assessing greenhouse policy options and their impacts on the energy and energy intensive manufacturing sector, commercialising new technologies, developing strategy responses and supporting their implementation.

His pre E3 experience includes 14 years in the New Zealand and Australian electricity industries where he held senior corporate positions in strategic development, market management and energy retailing in both countries, and consulted to leading energy sector companies on strategy development and execution, business process analysis and change management. In the late 1990s he was jointly responsible for providing thought leadership to and catalysing the establishment of the Australian Green Electricity Market – GEM, the world’s first industry governed green e-marketplace for renewable energy to support the needs of participants in the competitive green electricity market.

Srian has led a number of E3 projects which have addressed a range of international climate change policy issues, global energy and emissions trends and the policy approaches that have been used to promote the deployment of new technologies.

He has a BSc (First Class) from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and a MBA from the University of Otago, New Zealand.

Narelle Roolker

Narelle brings to E3 a seven year track record in the renewable energy, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions fields. Her career prior to joining E3 included holding positions as a Sustainable Energy Engineer and as a Wind Energy Engineer with two international engineering consultancy firms.

Narelle excels in the analysis of data required for emissions and abatement assessments, and in the development of systems to efficiently manage energy and emissions data. This, coupled with her work experience, places her in a strong position to support companies as they grapple with the operational challenges introduced by greenhouse and energy reporting regulations, and the need to develop and implement cost effective energy and emissions reduction strategies. Narelle is also experienced in renewable energy resource assessments which can provide a total sustainable energy solution. She is an accredited Green Star Professional, with the ability to provide advice on Sustainability programs and options.

Narelle has a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) from Monash University, Victoria, and a strong passion for sustainability, evidenced by designing her own home that is self sufficient in water supply and sewerage disposal and uses one third of the energy of an average house.
