Clean Energy Council - Security frameworks review
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) is the peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia, representing over 1,000 of the leading businesses operating in renewable energy, energy storage, and renewable hydrogen. The CEC is committed to accelerating the decarbonisation of Australia’s energy system as rapidly as possible while maintaining a secure and reliable supply of electricity for customers.

This rule change comes at a critical point in the NEM transition. The rapid and unplanned exit of thermal coal generation, combined with a national target to achieve 82% renewables by 2030, means it is critical that we accelerate new investment in renewable generation and storage.
view DownloadSubmission on Vicgrid Options Assessment Method to Offshore Wind Transmission in Gippsland and Portland
Victoria’s transition to renewable energy requires the timely construction of new transmission lines to enable upcoming offshore wind farms to connect to the grid. Delays to transmission means delays to these projects, which keeps Victoria’s greenhouse gas emissions high, contributing to greater climate impacts.
view DownloadSubmission on the Essential Services Commission’s Land Access Code of Practice draft determination
Victoria has set targets of reaching 65% renewable energy by 2030 and 95% by 2035. These targets are commendable and represent an essential element of the state’s response to the climate crisis. Because much of the state’s best wind and solar resources do not overlap with the previously dominant source of electricity (ie. Latrobe Valley brown coal generators), Victoria’s transition to renewable energy requires the timely construction of new transmission lines to enable wind and solar farms in other parts of the state to connect to the grid. Delays to transmission means delays to wind/solar projects, which keeps Victoria’s greenhouse gas emissions high, contributing to greater climate impacts.
