The Clean Energy Council (CEC) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) on its Consultation Paper on the proposed Solar Sharer Offer (SSO).

The CEC supports the underlying policy goal of improving demand flexibility across the grid to lower costs, make better use of renewable generation and reduce bills for all consumers. Greater flexibility in how and when energy is consumed can deliver substantial system-wide benefits, reducing peak demand, avoiding unnecessary network investment and helping integrate more renewable energy into the grid.

Clean Energy Council response to the Coalition's net zero announcement

The politics of net zero does not change the physics of our electricity system. Australia’s coal-fired power stations are closing whether we like it or not — more than 90 per cent are due to retire in the next decade.
