An important report by the Australian Energy Council and the energy industry. Energy2050 is intended to be a vision statement, providing a practical illustration of what it will take to deliver a net zero energy system while balancing affordability, reliability and sustainability.
Affordability is the key to ensuring public confidence and ongoing community support for the energy transition, which is now delicately balanced, according to the Chief Executive Officers of Australia’s major energy companies. A survey of the CEOs - Delivering Australia’s energy transition affordably – highlights the challenges in meeting the country’s energy and emission ambitions.
The energy transition is afoot Australian as governments commit to reducing emissions from the electricity sector by transitioning away from legacy coal generation towards a mix of renewable energy, storage and peaking generation. Maintaining electricity system reliability, security and affordability through this transition requires proactive long-term planning to ensure enabling infrastructure is developed when and where needed. This report considers the West Australian transition and the risks from any delays.
