‘…We welcome the opportunity to make comment on the review of reliability standard and settings.

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.

‘…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 EUAA has been a member of the Murraylink Electricity Transmission Interconnector Stakeholder Engagement Group from its inception.

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 […]
