Renewable energy zones are a useful first step on the path of more holistic access reform and can be implemented earlier than those changes required to implement our proposed access model. This paper seeks to provide some clarity as to the different ways renewable energy zones can be characterised, how these can be achieved and...

The electricity sector transition that is currently under way is changing the dynamics of the power system.
