The future course of energy investment and operation is at a turning point. The shift to new technologies and renewables is happening at speed. More consumers and producers are taking up those opportunities. Just one example of consumer choices driving structural change is the rapid spread of rooftop solar, smart appliances and other distributed energy resources that are changing the face of the market. The shift to grid-scale renewables is equally important. Australia’s power system may well become the most decentralised in the world.

This work was requested by the nation’s energy ministers in March 2019. It is all about

…resetting the national electricity market so consumers can benefit from rapidly changing technologies in our power system.

…unlocking value of flexible demand and distributed energy resources.

…working alongside government schemes which are delivering on their policy commitments including emissions reduction

…clear signals for timely and efficient investment to deliver reliable, secure and affordable electricity for consumers.
