Australian Electricity Outlook - NEM

This study series provides a deep and practical overview of the existing state of the National Electricity Market (NEM) and a comprehensive analysis of the NEM’s mid to longer term outlook. The study is undertaken by a highly experienced team and utilises Australia’s most advanced electricity simulation system, GENERSYS, to design a range of scenarios of future electricity demand, supply, fuel mix, cost, prices and emissions, including an analysis of the impact of the carbon pricing.

Renewable and Clean Electricity Outlook

This study develops scenarios for future growth in renewable and clean energy (electricity focus) in the context of changing Government policy at the domestic and international level. The growth outlook for Australia is compared with historical experiences and projections of demand and energy mix (wind, solar, geothermal, ocean, hydro and other emerging sources) internationally.  A key area of focus is the cost and economics of alternative renewable and clean energy sources relative to conventional coal and gas sources, having regard to carbon and MRET credit pricing scenarios.
