Introduction South Australia is at the forefront In July this year, South Australia experienced of efforts (both in Australia and a series of high wholesale electricity price globally) to transition the state’s spikes in one week, which some politicians power generation from fossil fuels and media commentators simplistically to renewable energy sources like linked to the state’s high proportion of solar and wind (Australian Energy renewable energy, particularly wind (For Council 2016). example, Australian Financial Review 2016; The Advertiser 2016a; The Australian 2016). This was incorrect. The mistaken attack on renewables enabled the principal reasons and parties responsible for the high price events to slip under the radar and largely avoid public scrutiny. This briefing paper analyses the role the “gentailers” (generator-retailers, companies owning both power plants and retail businesses) played in the high wholesale price spikes in South Australia, the lack of competition, and the conditions which enabled these companies to exercise the full force of their market power. For background, see the Climate Council’s initial analysis in our report “Mythbusting: Electricity Prices in South Australia” (Climate Council 2016). The mistaken attack on renewable energy has enabled the parties and reasons responsible for South Australia’s recent high price events to largely avoid public scrutiny. CHAPTER 02 2 SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S TRANSITION TO RENEWABLE POWER IS IN LINE WITH CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION 2. South Australia’s Transition to Renewable Power is in Line with Climate Change Action Last year, nations worldwide This is critical for Australia’s future given that (including Australia), agreed to act we are highly vulnerable to the consequences to limit global warming to less than of climate change, worsening bushfire two degrees Celsius at the United conditions, extreme heat, sea level rise and Nations Framework Convention on damage to iconic ecosystems like the Great Climate Change Conference of the Barrier Reef.

  • 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities for the National Electricity Market
    ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities for the National Electricity Market Published by AEMO Australian Energy Market Operator 530 Collins Street Melbourne Victoria 3000 Copyright © 2010 AEMO ISSN: 1836-7593 © AEMO 2010 ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES © AEMO 2010 ELECTRICITY STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES Preface I am pleased to introduce AEMO’s 2010 Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO), which presents the outlook for Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) supply capacity for years 2013-2020 and demand for years 2010-2020. The supply-demand outlook reflects the extent of growth, and opportunities for growth, in generation and demand-side investment. This year, for the first time, AEMO has separated the 10-year supply-demand outlook into two documents. While the ESOO will cover years 3-10 and focus on investment matters, a separate document titled Power System Adequacy (PSA)–A Two Year Outlook will publish the operational issues and supply-demand outlook for summers 2010/11 and 2011/12. AEMO has released the ESOO and PSA together. The ESOO is one of a collection of AEMO planning publications that provides comprehensive information about energy supply and investment, demand, and network planning. AEMO’s other annual planning documents are the South Australian Supply and Demand Outlook, the Victorian Annual Planning Report and Update, the National Transmission Network Development Plan (NTNDP), and the Gas Statement of Opportunities. AEMO expects that climate change policies will, over time, change the way in which Australia produces and consumes electricity. This is likely to take place through a shift from the current reliance on coal as a source of generation to less carbon-intensive fuel sources.
