Australia Power Market Analysis
The primary regulating body in the country’s power market is Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC). The National Electricity Market (NEM) operates as a wholesale market. It interconnects five regional market jurisdictions – Queensland, New South Wales (including the Australian Capital Territory), Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. Western Australia and the Northern Territory are not connected to the NEM. Electricity in Western Australia is supplied through the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM).
The Australian power sector is faced with the challenge of phasing out its aging coal-based fleet and replacing it with renewable power generation assets. The government’s emphasis on renewable power generation has resulted in a manifold increase in renewable power generation. However, the phasing out of the old coal-based plants has not occurred at the pace originally outlined in the country’s energy policy, mainly due to policy uncertainty. This has led to surplus generation capacity, in turn leading to cascading effects of depressed wholesale electricity prices, and reduced investment inflow in the power sector, especially for renewables.
