Power bills have become a growing source of stress for Australians. This report finds three key drivers behind Australia's high power prices. It finds expanding renewable energy, storage and transmission lowers long-term costs. The report calls for governments to progress rolling out renewable energy and storage, and ensure the benefits are shared by everyone.

This paper traces how Australia offered some of the cheapest and most reliable electricity in the world from the 1960s through to the early 2000s. It warns that this historic advantage has now evaporated. The paper argues that intermittent wind and solar power has failed to replicate the low-cost reliability once supplied by coal and...

Australia’s transition to renewable energy will reshape daily life, local communities and the national economy. This report examines how the shift to net zero may create or intensify vulnerabilities, identifies where the evidence is lacking, and outlines the research priorities needed to guide equitable, evidence-based policy.

The report advises the Minister for Climate Change and Energy on how Australia can progress toward a prosperous and resilient net zero economy. The report calls for faster emissions reductions and stronger adaptation measures to keep Australia on track for a safe and resilient future. It makes seven recommendations for priority action.

This briefing note finds that all the major opportunities to improve energy affordability in electricity and gas also either support – or are independent to – Australia’s net zero ambitions. The findings dispel the notion that reducing emissions comes at the expense of Australian households and businesses. It finds significant room for improvement in energy...
