More than $12 billion of investment in new transmission lines should begin 'as urgently as possible' to ensure electricity supply is secure in the coming decade, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator.

The call for urgent action was issued in the AEMO's latest "integrated system plan" , its 30-year roadmap for supplying reliable and affordable electricity while also reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

Collectively, the projects are estimated to cost $12.8 billion, but are considered fundamental to support future electricity generation and storage options. "Australia is experiencing a complex, rapid and irreversible energy transformation," AEMO CEO Daniel Westerman said in a statement.Transmission upgrades are needed to allow renewable energy and storage facilities scattered around the country to connect to the grid, and to accommodate "two-way" flow from storage facilities and rooftop solar.

sh*t show

Today AEOM says the grid needs $12 billion to facilitate renewables… who pays for that? And if you think it won’t be reflected in your bills, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Renewables cost more.

Nearly all this infrastructure is to connect wind and solar to the grid, hmmmm..... someone told me renewables are the cheapest electricity. What a joke!

And who is going to pay for this investment 𝗪𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 !!

The Board & Executive of AEMO should resign for incompetence! AEMO, Australia's National Energy Market operator, should NOT be sending signals to market participants about how participants should operate! AEMO's market manipulation has caused Australia's energy crisis! auspol

‘What we need is more of what’s causing the grid unreliability.”

why is our electricity so flickery.........its not the 3rd world

Wind and solar after about 60BN are only about 8% of our power so let’s boost it up by another 92% to keep the lights on and cover the whole country i these monstrosity’s and we can import our food or starve to death . 60BN would have built 15coal plants or 3nuclear plants

What a fucking agenda. Pushing renewables to shore up when they fully well know how inconsistent and unreliable renewables actually are. This has gotten absolutely ridiculous.

ALBO & BOWEN solution to Shoring up Electricity is Immediate Greater Renewables push …while evidence worldwide is They’ve FAILED. Australia also, does not have Nuclear Availability that all those other European Virtue Signalling Hypocrites plug into!

nice work, well done Angus

Climate change hoax pushed by globalists dying quickly

Till we go fully Nuclear 100% this problem will exist

Open the American pipeline instead of going to communist countries that hate us for oil. It's been proven that we make much cleaner oil anyway. We can't go green overnight they've been beating this drum since the 70s. And look where we are no closer today than we were then.
