Australia’s energy markets are currently undergoing significant transformation as the energy sector pushes forward with the energy transition to a net-zero carbon economy. The Energy Security Board (ESB) and the Australian Government along with several of the State Governments have been tasked with leading the design and implementation of a National Electricity Market (NEM) 2.0. The NEM 2.0 will be designed to integrate high amounts of renewable energy in-front through the development of renewable energy zones (REZs) and behind-the-meter, along with retiring and new dispatchable power and various forms of storage technologies. Alongside the electricity sector reforms being led by the ESB as part of the NEM 2025 proposal, the Australian Government, businesses and regulators are also putting measures in place to establish frameworks to accelerate and promote investment in low emissions technologies across the energy sector.
