Australia has committed to the Paris Climate Accord to limit global emissions to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, we must raise our domestic ambition on achieving this.
Our key recommendations for AEMO’s IASR work at this time include:
Raise ambition for domestic emission reductions inline with the IPCC 1.5 degrees of global warming, in addition to a green energy export scenario.
Retain the Strong Electrification scenario to support electrification.
Review and improve Green Energy Export scenario hydrogen and biogas assumptions and expand modelling to support Australia’s export opportunities and onshore manufacturing.
Expand modelling to include distribution modelling to support electrification planning and implementation

We strongly support a national approach to electricity system planning and modernisation.
