A new report from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) is warning the reliability of the electricity grid is in doubt over the next ten years without new investments.
Key Points
- The Australian Energy Market Operator is warning new power generation, new transmission lines, and new energy storage is needed to avoid blackouts, as ageing coal power plants shut down.
- The Operator's report says the reliability standard will be breached by mainland states in the national electricity market from 2027 onwards.
- There's not yet enough alternative power sources locked in to avoid the conclusion the report makes.
