At NRN, we fully support the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) stance on the rollout of renewables. AEMO has called for an urgent $3.4 billion investment in transmission lines to support the renewable energy shift, highlighting that clean energy backed by storage is the most cost-effective solution for Australian households and businesses. As coal-fired power plants close faster than anticipated, AEMO's updated roadmap highlights the immediate need for new generation, storage, and transmission to secure power supplies. With renewable energy already powering nearly 40% of our national grid, it’s crucial to accelerate this progress to meet the 2030 climate targets. NRN stands by AEMO's vision for a renewable-led future, ensuring reliable, affordable, and clean energy for all Australians. https://lnkd.in/g7P8Sg3q

For too long, solar energy has been a refuge for the wealthy, leaving many behind in the transition to renewable energy. The high upfront costs have made it inaccessible for many, straining our grid and creating an imbalance. We at the National Renewable Network (NRN) are here to change that. Our mission is to ensure everyone benefits from solar and battery systems, regardless of their financial situation, by making these technologies accessible. Recent discussions around export charges for solar energy often mischaracterised as a “sun tax,” highlight the need for a balanced and stable energy supply. Our CEO, Alan Hunter, supports Ausgrid's introduction of the two-way tariff, stating that it ensures that renewable energy benefits are more inclusive, prevents households without solar systems from bearing grid upgrade costs, and incentivises energy management. This approach promotes efficient energy use and helps stabilise the grid, benefiting all consumers. https://lnkd.in/gnZYnj5i
