EXPERTS AVAILABLE ON AEMO’S DRAFT INTEGRATED SYSTEMS PLAN

Climate Media Centre 2 mins read

The Australian Energy Market Operator is due to release its updated draft Integrated Systems Plan (ISP) for 2024 this week (December 15). AEMO says its ISP, released every two years, is a roadmap for the development of the National Electricity Market (NEM) over the next 20 years and beyond. 

 

It is expected that AEMO will continue calls for a strong pipeline of renewable energy projects and transmission lines so that Australia’s energy grid continues to provide reliable and affordable energy as ageing coal power plants retire.
