The slow pace of transmission line roll out has hindered Australia’s ability to reach its climate targets and could pose a threat to the reliability and security of the nation’s power system, a new report from Nexa Advisory has revealed.
As the Labor government looks to double its renewable energy output by 2030, delays in the enormous roll out of transmission lines could spell trouble for Australia’s transition to clean energy.
The delays in transmission line rollouts has put Australia behind its climate targets and could pose a risk to the reliability of the nation's power. Picture: Istock The report said the key roadblocks to keeping the projects on schedule were excessive red tape, lack of national planning and coordination and community opposition.
Nexa called on the Australian Energy Market Operator and federal and state governments to identify the funding gaps to build transparency and boost confidence in the delivery of renewables. To minimise the risk of outages, AEMO will tender for emergency reserves to mitigate the impact these possible outages will have on Aussies.
