view DownloadSubmission on the NSW Consumer Energy Strategy
The development of a Consumer Energy Strategy by the NSW Government is strongly supported by the CEC and viewed as an essential step in the continued integration of consumer energy resources (CER) into Australia’s energy systems. By improving approaches to CER deployment, demand response, equitable access, and implementation of standards we can make the energy transition faster, cheaper, smoother, and more secure.
view DownloadSubmission to AEMO’s Draft 2024 ISP
The CEC appreciates AEMO’s work to produce this draft update to the 2022 ISP with continued and expanded consideration of ongoing challenges to transforming the National Electricity Market (NEM) to be 100% renewables capable.
The CEC considers that a planning process for the NEM’s transition must cover the impact of community concerns, supply chain strains and disruptions, workforce concerns, and inflationary pressures that have continued to develop since the 2022 ISP. Careful system planning to support efficient investment in generating and network assets has also grown in importance over the past two years. The CEC views the ISP as continuing to serve an important role in the transition of the NEM to a renewable-powered system and Australia’s economy to net-zero.
view DownloadSubmission to Treasury's Climate Disclosure Unit
The CEC welcomes Treasury’s bill to mandate climate-related financial disclosures and the initial framework. A clear framework compelling companies to assess and disclose their climate-related financial risks can play a key role in both preventing system-wide problems in Australia’s financial systems and can also support adequate and affordable capital flows into the clean energy industries.
The CEC encourages Treasury to consider some final refinements on the final bill, as outlined below, along with ongoing engagement and consultation with the clean energy industry following initial implementation and as part of continuous improvement of reporting regimes.
