Description
As WA's main electricity system changes and evolves, the need for fundamental re-design of the market settings underpinning the SWIS is becoming increasingly critical. This session will examine the policy, pricing and system signals needed to integrate new renewable generation and meet growing industrial demand. Speakers will explore the challenges of reforming regulatory frameworks from a government perspective integrating large loads and connecting onshore wind into the SWIS, as well as the potential new role of carbon pricing in the energy transition. This session will highlight how market design choices made today will shape the investment, reliability and decarbonisation outcomes for WA’s energy future.
