    AEMC, utilities in denial as consumers flick switch to solar, batteries

    AEMC attempts to defend incumbent gen-tailers by saying how delighted customers are with their electricity service and pricing, and blaming renewables as the biggest black cloud on the horizon. They have to be kidding, right?

    AEMC delays 5-minute ruling again after protests from incumbents

    AEMC takes baby steps to future grid, where solar and storage “optimised”

    Australia’s energy market rule maker catches up with solar and storage revolution, proposes “independent ‘optimising’ function”.

    The great divide over Australia’s energy future

    The energy rule-maker’s dystopian view of our immediate energy future underlines the growing divide on the future of renewables. There are those who see them as key to a smarter, cheaper, cleaner and more reliable grid. And other who simply believe it can’t be done.

    Someone needs to judge the performance of the AEMC

    AEMC’s fundamental blind spot on “environmental sustainability” is at the core of why the rule-maker is providing poor advice to COAG and why the system is failing.

    The NEM is a mess – so who will clean it up?

    The biggest problem facing Australia’s National Electricity Market is that it has no management team. But someone has to accept responsibility for the mess.

  • In 2017, regulators should fight for consumers, not incumbents
    Smart Energy

    In 2017, regulators should fight for consumers, not incumbents

    Despite predictions that consumers – households and businesses – will be supplying half of all electricity needs within a few decades, the automatic reflex of the institutions that govern our electricity market remains to protect the incumbents. This needs to change.

    Energy market rule-maker says no to real reform – again

    Decision by AEMC will push more local generators and prosumers to reduce their use of the grid, to look at private wires and microgrids, and potentially to disconnect.
