The Integrated System Plan (ISP) is a roadmap to navigate Australia’s power system through the energy transition, providing Australians with reliable electricity at the lowest cost. AEMO CEO, Daniel Westerman unpacked the report on Sky News with Ross Greenwood, earlier this week.

Governments task AEMO with delivering the Integrated System Plan (ISP) which is a roadmap for the transition of the National Electricity Market (NEM), with a clear plan for both new and existing technologies.   It must operate in the real economy, supporting government policies and industry needs, and responding to infrastructure costs, workforce availability and community actions through the energy transition.   To learn more about the ISP and Australia’s energy transition, visit: https://bit.ly/45K0ocn

This morning AEMO released the 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP) – a roadmap for Australia's energy transition to meet future energy needs and government net zero commitments. The 2024 ISP is the culmination of two years of extensive consultation involving 2,100 stakeholders, 85 presentations and reports, and the consideration of more than 220 formal submissions.

AEMO has today published the 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP), the most efficient optimal development path of generation, storage and transmission investments to meet power system needs and support government emissions reductions policies as we head toward 2050 and a #netzeroeconomy. by 2050. AEMO CEO, Daniel Westerman, said: “AEMO has worked closely with industry, governments and consumer representatives to develop this plan in the interests of energy consumers.”   “The plan maps out urgent investment so that homes and businesses continue to access reliable and affordable electricity, both in the coming decade when 90% of #coalgeneration is expected to retire, and beyond to 2050.   “As with previous reports, this plan shows that the lowest-cost path for secure and reliable electricity is from renewable energy, connected with transmission and distribution, supported by batteries and pumped hydro, and backed up by gas-powered generation,” he said.

As market operator, earlier this week, under AEMO’s new East Coast Gas System functions, we notified and met with the gas industry about a potential risk to gas storage levels in parts of the east coast. These steps are an important mechanism in the management of gas operations and it’s how we at AEMO, manage risks and keep the market fully informed.

AEMO’s latest WA Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO) presents a significantly improved near-term outlook compared to last year’s report, but also highlights the need for continued capacity investment from 2027 onwards. AEMO Executive General Manager WA & Strategy Kate Ryan said the significantly improved near-term capacity outlook is the result of substantial investment that is currently underway in the SWIS, which is on a scale not seen in decades. “However, retiring coal-fired power stations combined with increasing demand will see a forecast 391 MW shortfall emerge in 2027-28, growing to 2,880 MW by 2033-34.” “This highlights that critical investment in power generation, storage, demand-side response and transmission will be needed to meet demand and replace retiring coal-fired power stations in the lead up to 2030 and beyond.” Read the report here: https://bit.ly/4c2MUL3 And to read our WEM ESOO media release, click here: https://bit.ly/3Vut7gF
