EUAA Submission: Tasmanian Parliament Joint Select Committee – Inquiry Into Energy Matters In Tasmania
‘… As we transition from a highly centralised generation system dominated by dispatchable thermal resources to a highly decentralised system dominated by Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) resources a number of key challenges are becoming apparent.

EUAA Submission: NSW Renewable Fuel Scheme Rule 1
‘… The EUAA notes that the NSW government has chosen a market-based approach, which for renewable fuel increases the cost for consumers, in addition to the increased cost from transitioning to renewable fuel (it is known that biomethane costs more than fossil gas and green hydrogen is even more expensive).

EUAA Submission: Review Into Electricity Compensation Frameworks (EPR 0095)

Mediation Now An Option In Pipeline Access Disputes
Mediation over arbitration in any situation is typically less costly and quicker when resolving a dispute. It’s now an option for small gas shippers to use in pipeline access disputes following reforms earlier this year to the gas pipeline regulatory framework.
