Submission to the 2019 Forecasting and Planning Consultation

• Recommendation 1: Develop scenarios that reflect emissions in the NEM being consistent with the Paris Agreement commitment. At an absolute minimum, this should limit emissions from the NEM to the budget derived by Climate Change Authority (CCA) in their electricity sector analysis.

• Recommendation 2: Develop a more sophisticated approach to resource trace development that allow the full capability, value and optimisation of different renewable energy resources to be explored.

• Recommendation 3: Make more of the input assumption data from the different scenarios available.
