EUAA Submission: Humelink Early Works Stage 1 CPA
‘… The EUAA supports the pursuit of net zero targets and support building new transmission infrastructure that will help enable it. However, we must pursue net zero at least cost, not at any cost.

EUAA Submission: AEMC Improving Consultation In The Rules

EUAA Submission: National Electricity Amendment ERC0335
‘…It is surprising given the AEMC’s role to further the National Electricity Objective, that it seems to regard this rule change as a simple administrative process where the outcome is obvious. The Commission sees it as non-controversial and hence can easily be dealt with in an expedited process (p.3): “The rule change does not impact […]

EUAA Submission: 2022 Reliability Standard & Settings Review
‘….While the scope of this review is clear, its eventual impact may be somewhat limited. The Issues Paper says that this consultation is about the reliability standard and settings for the period 1 July 2024 to 1 July 2028 in an energy only market. Yet there is a widespread expectation that the ESB 2025 work […]
EUAA Submission: Electricity Supply Options For North West CRIS
‘…We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the CRIS. Our ability to respond to the questions asked has been constrained by the absence of detailed information in the relatively short CRIS.
