The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has released the 2025 Draft ISP Methodology and has sought public feedback on the document to inform its approach to modelling and cost benefit analysis.  AEMO has engaged CSIRO, supported by Climateworks, to conduct multi-sector modelling to quantify the dynamic influences that would shape electricity demand under different emissions reduction scenarios for this and previous Integrated System Plans (ISP).

Video from this event is now available to watch on demand. Hear from Climateworks experts as they discuss the trends moving the industrial, energy and corporate sectors towards net zero emissions in Australia and Southeast Asia.

The Victorian Government has released a Renewable Gas Directions Paper seeking input on its approach to accelerating the uptake of renewable hydrogen and biomethane across Victorian industry.

The Select Committee on Energy Planning and Regulation has conducted a consultation that will inform its inquiry into the institutional structures, governance, regulation, functions, and operations of the Australian Energy market.  The rapid decarbonisation of the electricity and energy system is essential for Australia to meet its obligations under the Paris Agreement.

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has conducted a consultation on the narratives and parameters of the scenarios that will underpin the 2025 Inputs, Assumptions, Scenarios Report (IASR).  In 2023, AEMO engaged CSIRO, supported by Climateworks, to conduct multi-sector modelling to quantify the dynamic influences that would shape electricity demand under different emissions reduction scenarios.

In April 2024, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) invited stakeholders to provide written submissions on the content of its Draft 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP) Addendum.

In 2023, the Australian Government sought advice on the National Battery Strategy to develop industry policy for manufacturing batteries in Australia.

The Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has conducted a consultation on the expanded Capacity Investment Scheme.

The Australian Government is developing a Future Gas Strategy, that will provide a medium (to 2035) and long-term (to 2050) plan for gas production and consumption in Australia.

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has released a Phase 2 Draft of the 2025 Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios report.

The rapid decarbonisation of the electricity and energy system is essential for Australia to meet its obligations under the Paris Agreement. Electricity generation is the nation's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of renewables will reduce emissions by approximately one-third and will have powerful flow-on effects for other sectors of the economy.

Climateworks modelling shows Australia can reach net zero emissions before 2040 with technology available today – nuclear is not part of that picture.

The Climate Change Authority (the Authority) is reviewing the potential technology transition and emission pathways that will best support Australia’s transition to net zero emissions by 2050 for six sectors: agriculture and land, built environment, electricity and energy, industry and waste, resources, and transport.

The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has conducted a consultation on its Electricity and Energy Sector Plan Discussion Paper. 

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has conducted a consultation process on its Draft 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP).

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has published a Directions Paper on its requested rule change Unlocking CER benefits through flexible trading.

Australia has major opportunities in a net zero global economy from its renewable energy and mineral resources.

Southeast Asia is a fast-growing region with significant opportunities to accelerate decarbonisation.

The transformation of the energy system is crucial for the decarbonisation of Australia’s economy.
