Putting the ‘justice’ in ‘just transition’: tackling inequality in the new renewable economy focuses
In this report, unions from the maritime, energy and manufacturing sectors outline a series of steps to not only encourage the use of offshore wind to reduce carbon emissions, but take advantage of the emerging industry to diversify the job opportunities for workers and communities which are currently reliant on coal, oil and gas.
Report
Maintaining power system security with high penetrations of wind and solar generation
The purpose of this insights paper is to set the scene for AEMO’s ongoing investigations into renewable integration in Australia and identify any additional priority focus areas. This insights paper is generally based on information available to AEMO as at 1 October 2019 unless otherwise indicated.

Over reactor: the economic problems with nuclear power
This submission argues that establishing a nuclear power industry in Australia is economically unfeasible, particularly given the uninsurable nature of the technology means the risks of a nuclear incident are borne substantially by Australian taxpayers.

Coordination of generation and transmission infrastructure proposed access model: discussion paper
The electricity sector transition that is currently under way is changing the dynamics of the power system. Traditional thermal plants are closing, and more renewable and asynchronous generators are coming to the power system. This paper sets out a proposed model for generators to locate in more cost-effective places, and access the transmission network more...

Financial implications of parched power: insights from an analysis of Indian thermal power companies
This paper has global implications for investors in the thermal power sector. Although it focuses on a small subset of Indian thermal power companies, the analysis suggests that other thermal power companies in drought-prone areas, like Australia, could also have exposure to water-shortage risks.
