The Climate Change Authority (CCA), which is reviewing the RET on behalf of the Australian government, backs the existing policy framework to reach a goal of at least 20% of power generation from renewables by 2020.
In a discussion paper issued ahead of its final report to ministers, the CCA says the large-scale RET of 41TWh of renewable power should be retained, “notwithstanding that on current projections of electricity demand this would represent around 25% (rather than 20%) of total electricity generated in 2020”.
