EUAA Submission: Capacity Investment Scheme Implementation Design Paper
‘… Recognising that the current version of the CIS has significantly expanded objectives both in scope and scale (23GW of generation and 9GW dispatchable capacity) we remain concerned that dispatchable capacity aspect of the CIS will tend to support relatively short duration storage (i.e. 2-6-hour batteries). While this may be acceptable within the context of recent […]

EUAA Submission: National Electricity Amendment (Accomodating Financability In The Regulatory Framework) Rule
‘…The EUAA support the pursuit of net zero targets but this must be achieved at least cost, not at any cost.

The EUAA recommends that the […]
