AEMO’s Integrated System Plan (ISP) is a roadmap for the transition of the National Electricity Market (NEM) power system, with a clear plan for essential infrastructure that will meet future energy needs. The 2024 ISP confirms that renewable energy, connected by transmission and distribution, firmed with storage and backed up by gas-powered generation, is the...

Electricity systems around the world are under pressure due to aging infrastructure, rising demand for electricity and the need to decarbonise energy supplies at pace. The aim of this study was to provide insight into the state of artificial intelligence applications for the power grid, and the associated risks and opportunities.

Alternative Long Duration Energy Storage (ALDES) technologies are rapidly emerging as effective and complementary to reinforcing these established types of energy storage. This report provides an introduction to ALDES, exploring the key ALDES technology families and the context in which they will operate. It also explores the specific roles these technologies will play in delivering...

Each year, the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator collaborate with industry stakeholders to update GenCost. This leading economic report estimates the cost of building new electricity generation, storage, and hydrogen production in Australia out to 2050.

New information has become available since AEMO released the 2023 Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO) in August 2023 that warrants reassessment of the supply and demand outlook in the National Electricity Market (NEM). This update to the 2023 ESOO reinforces that urgent investments in capacity in the NEM are needed to manage reliability risks.
