Following the release of two new papers on the National Energy Guarantee – one from the Energy Security Board (ESB) and one from the Commonwealth - the ACT continues to hold serious concerns about the National Energy Guarantee (NEG).
At this stage it still looks like a policy that will lock in poor outcomes for the climate, for renewable energy, for States and Territories who are pursuing strong climate actions, and ultimately for electricity consumers. The policy parameters of the NEG risk an outcome that would be worse than if States and Territories continued to lead the way without a NEG in place.
