This presentation will examine the nature of our electricity generation assets within the Australian East Cost Electricity system and how they can continue to change, as Federal and State Governments seek to promote and deploy variable renewable energy, particularly wind and solar PV, as part of their plans to broadly decarbonise their economies.
Within this context, Total System Cost is slowly being understood to be an important metric to be focused on and optimised, as the electricity system is transformed. This session will discuss what this means for coal and gas power generation in a future where minimising the total system cost becomes the focus.
