Could an emissions reduction trajectory be baked into a capacity mechanism?
Energy ministers will decide which technologies will be eligible in a capacity mechanism, but the ESB chief says emissions cuts could be built into its design.
“Big shift in language:” Transgrid welcomes new urgency in transmission plans
Transgrid says switch to green energy is going to accelerate, particularly after the disruption in global energy markets.
“Cost difference is staggering:” Why AEMO roadmap falls short of 100pct renewables
AEMO’s main roadmap shows Australia’s main grid getting close, but not quite, to 100 per cent renewables over a year. Here’s why.
Coal may exit Australia’s grid a lot quicker than most people think
AEMO roadmap still assumes all brown coal generation gone by 2032, but future roadmaps may point to black coal generators closing around the same time.
Wind and solar facing 20 per cent curtailment in high renewables grid
Wind and solar face curtailment rates of up to 20 per cent in a high renewables grid, because it may no longer be economic to store excess power.
“Rapid and irreversible:” AEMO says energy crisis is accelerating switch to renewables
AEMO says the energy chaos is likely to accelerate the switch to renewables, but the scale of the transition is immense, and the need to act is urgent.
New generation and storage pipeline reaches 150GW as AEMO prepares its plan
AEMO reveals new generation and project proposals now total more than 150GW, as it prepares to release latest 20-year blueprint of how to connect it all to the grid.
How offshore wind could influence AEMO’s 20-year green energy blueprint
The ISP will go down as the pivotal model for the energy transition, the one that irreversibly moved the dial. Here’s how it might accommodate offshore wind.
“Unreliable and dirty:” CEC urges storage target over capacity mechanism
Clean Energy Council joins growing chorus rejecting capacity mechanism in favour of an energy storage target.
