Clean Energy Council responds to Frontier report: Developing a base case to assess the relative costs of nuclear power in the NEM

The Clean Energy Council has conducted a thorough review and analysis of the recent Frontier Report titled: Developing a base case to assess the relative costs of nuclear power in the NEM which we believe risks misleading the Australian public by potentially inflating the cost of transitioning to renewables - through the use of irregular modelling approaches and presentation of data.

Our review of the report outlines its many flaws to help ensure greater transparency and understanding of the cost to transition our power system. This is important given Frontier’s modelling is set to inform a second forthcoming report which will assess the costs of including nuclear power in the NEM.
