- Australia’s main electricity grid is expected to avoid major shortages in summer 2023 but faces increasing risks from 2025 due to faster coal plant retirements than renewable project completions.
- Delays of at least one year affect significant projects like Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro and the Kurri Kurri gas plant, postponing capacity gains.
- At least five coal-fired power stations, representing about 13% of national capacity, are projected to close by 2027, expanding potential supply gaps.
- Urgent investments in renewables, storage, and transmission infrastructure are essential to maintain reliable electricity supply as coal generation phases out.
Urgent and ongoing investment in renewable energy, long-duration storage and transmission is needed to reliably meet demand from Australian homes and businesses.— said Aemo’s chief executive, Daniel Westerman.
