Federal government commissions scenarios for 100% renewables SBS World News, 1 OCT 2012 The federal government has given the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) the job of coming up with a 100 percent renewable energy scenario for 2030 and 2050, By Roger Dargaville , University of MelbourneThe Federal Government has given the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO ) the job of coming up with a 100% renewable energy scenario for 2030 and 2050.
The market operator is working with a consulting company and CSIRO to provide information and data on renewable resources, storage technologies and demand-side response. It will combine the input data with its transmission modelling capability to find the least-cost combination of technologies to achieve a 100% renewable energy system for the National Electricity Market.
On Friday, the government hosted a meeting to discuss the data and modelling assumptions with various stakeholders and interested parties.
The data have all been made freely available on the Department of Climate Change & Energy Efficiency’s website . The government and the market operator are to be commended on this open and transparent approach to their modelling work. They have committed to also making the models available at the completion of the study in May next year…… http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1697647/Federal-government-commissions-scenarios-for-100-r
