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.
