Nexa Advisory has recently released a response to the Energy Security Board’s (ESB) Capacity Mechanism High-Level Design paper. The response highlights the necessity of an orderly transition from high carbon to low carbon generation in Australia for meeting climate targets, reducing cost-of-living pressures, and ensuring a secure energy market. While Nexa supports the concept of […]
New transmission electricity infrastructure is the crucial missing link in Australia’s transition to clean energy. A timely roll-out of transmission to connect new electricity generation is critical to ensure energy security and avoid delays that would lead to increased costs for consumers. The problem There is broad recognition of both the urgent need to replace […]
This paper sets out possible solutions to the key roadblocks standing in the way of the new electricity transmission infrastructure that is urgently needed to ensure Australia’s clean energy transition. Energy transition to low carbon emissions is critical to meeting our climate targets, to our energy security and supply stability, and to controlling and abating […]
Before the establishment of the Energy Security Board (ESB), the governance arrangements for the National Energy Market (NEM) were best-practice. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) and the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) each had separate functions providing confidence for investors and consumers in the roles and responsibilities of each […]
The rule maker for Australia’s electricity and gas markets must put to rest its proposed transmission access reforms and end the significant uncertainty facing investors in the renewable energy sector. The Australian Energy Market Commission’s (AEMC) proposal for the coordination of generation and transmission investment (COGATI) does not, despite its name, actually address the emerging […]
Australia’s National Electricity Market is experiencing a period of significant change, bringing with it both disruption and opportunity. Central to successfully navigating this is the transmission network. The speed at which new generator connections have occurred is creating challenges for the grid and reinforcing the need for better coordination of generation and transmission investments. Are […]
