This analysis of residential electricity prices over the next decade shows how Australian households could significantly reduce their total spending on energy through a well-managed transition to electrification. The report recommends timely and efficient investment in renewables and removing barriers to electrification for all households.

A comprehensive overview of Australia's electricity and gas markets, analysing market trends, consumer experiences, and regulatory developments. The report finds that consumer energy resources, such as rooftop solar, are playing an increasingly important role in the energy system, but regulatory frameworks need to adapt to support their efficient integration.

This report finds that continued transmission delays are driving up consumer electricity bills for households and businesses, threatening energy reliability and risking emissions reduction targets. The costs of inaction to deliver transmission on time must be considered in policymaking.

The federal, state and territory Energy Ministers have introduced a shadow carbon price for the national electricity market. This ‘value of emissions reduction’ (VER) sets the value of carbon abatement at $66 per tonne in 2023, rising six-fold to $420 by 2050. This paper estimates that including VER as a class of market benefit could...

The authors of this paper argue that there are clear limits to what 'levelised cost of energy' (LCOE) can be used for when analysing energy policy. Such estimates are prone to bias, omit key costs and cannot be used to assess the merits of projects that have vastly different values. They suggest that Australia needs...
