IEEFA’s response to AEMO 2022 draft ISP consultation

The 2022 Draft ISP shows the fast pace of change in energy transition.

Both AEMO’s draft ISP and Federal Government projections alike show that coal will exit sooner than projected in the existing generator schedule.

The draft ISP makes it clear that government policy is required to coordinate the exit of coal generators and develop a new, realistic coal exit schedule with more enforceable exit dates.

IEEFA recommends that a policy to manage the retirement of ageing coal generators be implemented.
