The Queensland Government recently unveiled its new Energy Roadmap for the state. The new Roadmap reshapes the pace and scale of the state’s energy transition by opting to retain the state’s existing coal assets in Queensland’s generation mix for longer.
Somewhat coincidentally, the AEMC has started consultation on the “treatment of jurisdictional policies” like the Queensland Energy Roadmap in AEMO’s Integrated System Plan (“ISP’) as part of its broader Statutory Review of the ISP.
So what does Queensland’s new Roadmap mean for AEMO’s signature whole-of-system electricity plan? We take a closer look.
