The AER confirmed on 28 September 2020 that: “…the AER considers that the updated cost benefit analysis provides a not unreasonable basis for ElectraNet’s opinion that PEC remains the preferred option. We expect both ElectraNet and TransGrid to submit full and complete contingent project applications for PEC as soon as possible.” On 29 September 2020, the ElectraNet Board approved submission of a contingent project application (CPA) based on the AER’s confirmation and the CPA was submitted to the AER on 30 September 2020. This note reviews several subsequently announced policies and other changes in the National Electricity Market (NEM) and considers the impact that these could have on the benefits of PEC.

  • The Answer Is Blowing in the Wind?
    The Answer is blowing in the Wind? Introduction Most people living in the Mid North of South Australia are well-aware that the region is targeted with the rapid roll out of Premier Rann‟s renewable energy programme. In recent years, massive industrial wind turbines have appeared along ridgelines from Waterloo in the south to near Jamestown in the north, and from Snowtown in the west to Hallett in the east. Many more projects are in the pipeline: Carmody‟s Hill, Willogoleche, Collaby Hill, Hallett Stages 3, 4, and 5, Barnhill, Snowtown 2, Stony Gap and Robertstown; some of which are approved and all of which are planned. The Mid North is not the only region of the state with wind farms but, at this stage, they are more concentrated there. Why is this so? In part, it is because of the close proximity of the wind farm sites to a number of electrical power sub-stations and to an extensive grid system. Also, experience from around the world shows that low-income areas are 80 metres the height of the towers frequently targeted because people in such areas are less likely to criticise the 48 metres the length of the blades problems caused by new industries. Some time ago, a bureaucrat, working in the state‟s energy department, when asked why the Mid North was 90 tonnes the weight of the nacelle considered a good area to locate industrial wind farms answered that the and hub which sits on top population there was low and people would put up with them.
