OP ED | Foreign investors need clarity on the rules for inbound investment into Australia
Australia’s FMIA can unlock >$500bn of new investment in Australia across energy infrastructure (grid T&D), solar, wind, PHS, BESS and V2G charging) and value-added our key mining exports (e.g. green iron, rare earths & lithium hydroxide refining), as well as providing zero emissions lower cost domestic clean energy to power our downstream industries, like Rio Tinto’s public-private multibillion dollar investment proposals to pivot to green aluminium value-add across Australasia.

OP ED | The gas export industry continues to cry wolf about always looming shortages, but this isn’t supported by the facts
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)’s recent 4QCY2024 Quarterly Energy Dynamics (QED) report gives some much needed context. AEMO highlighted 84% of East Australian gas production is exported. This highlights that, not withstanding a tripling of gas production over the last decade, there is a totally contrived domestic market shortage, designed to keep East Australian industry & consumers paying export price parity and beyond for this public Australian asset now captured and being exploited by multinationals, mostly corporate tax free.

PRESENTATION | ANU Solar Oration – Solar step change
Tim Buckley gives the prestigious ANU Solar Oration, detailing how solar has become the dominant source of net new electricity capacity installed globally with China leading a global step change in cleantech manufacturing capacity. Solar continues to be deflationary, driving deployment – and disruptive in combination with batteries and EVs. Tim also looks at the implications for Australian energy transition and the policy frameworks we need to speed decarbonisation.

Storm Clouds for QLD’s Clean Energy Leadership as LNP Assumes Power
The QLD state election last week saw the David Crisafulli-led LNP form a majority government. The sunshine state is now at serious risk of being locked into high-emission fossil fuels to power the state, derailing the crowding-in of tens of billions of renewable energy and green industry capital unlocked by the critical new transmission and grid firming investments made under the previous government.
