Head on over to https://www.patreon.com/LetMeSumUp.—Another fortnight, another flurry of activity vis-a-vis the reliability of the NEM! Your intrepid hosts have some whiplash from the just-published May 2024 Update to the 2023 Electricity Statement of Opportunities, rendered out of date some 48 hours later when the NSW Government and Origin Energy announced their deal to extend the operation of Eraring for two years. Reliability fears? Temporarily allayed. Broader impacts? More coal gen pain! Our main paperThe Australian Government's universally beloved, well received, totally uncontroversial Future Gas Strategy proved too tempting to resist for your intrepid hosts. In what could have been titled ‘Gassy McGasface Says: Gas? Gas!' this report goes to great lengths to paint a picture of gas as far as the eye can see – beyond 2050! – even in the face of the many models suggesting that would be a Very Bad Idea, especially if the need to save the climate is a thing. It might be light on analysis, policy, and funding, but don't worry, we filled in the blanks. One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is some listener mailbag from Summerupperer Kerry Burke, who reckons the LMSU crew got it wrong – it had to happen eventually – with our broad endorsement of Grattan's Keeping the Lights On paper last episode. We'll take a 47/48 strike rate any day, and invite Kerry – who is also not happy with the status quo – to tell us what he'd do instead! Frankie's One More Thing is a plug for the National Construction Code 2025 Public Comment Draft, now open for comment until 1 July! Improvements to energy efficiency for commercial buildings are on the table, including an intriguing measure to mandate solar on commercial building rooftops. If buildings are your jam, hop on it!Luke's One More Thing is a plug for the Energy Efficiency Council's revamped and relaunched First Fuel podcast, featuring no less than the grandfather of energy efficiency, founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute and Stanford Professor, Amory Lovins.

Mookhey insists it's not corporate welfare, detailing a deal where the government won't pay upfront but will share risk with Origin. Taxpayers would take a 20% profit share (capped at $40 million) and cover 80% of losses (capped at $225 million annually). Origin decides on the risk-sharing deal by March 31, 2025, and 2026, for the following fiscal year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NSW government has announced it will "engage with Origin Energy" on a proposed extension of the life of Australia's largest black coal-fired power plant. 

The country's biggest coal-fired Power Station, Eraring, was meant to close in 2025. Instead, the NSW Government has extended operations after warnings the state's grid could face blackouts and power shortages. What does the decision tell us about the current energy market, and its preparedness to transition to renewables? We answer your questions in the deep dive.

Origin Energy CEO Frank Calabria on the decision to close Eraring, the shift from baseload, and future energy models.

Australia's energy market is changing rapidly.   Coal fired power plants are closing earlier than planned... and their owners are building batteries in their place!    Last year Energy Australia announced the Yallourn plant in Victoria will close and Origin Energy last week announced its Eraring plant in NSW will close seven years earlier than planned. Tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brooks says he wants to take over AGL with a similar plan, shutting down powerplants early and building renewable infrastructure.    We're joined by Mike Foley, the climate and energy correspondent for The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald to find out what's going on and how it will speed up our transition out of coal fired power... and do we risk price hikes and power blackouts... as the Energy Minister Angus Taylor has warned   Todays Headlines Cannon-Brookes AGL bid knocked back China hits back over laser incident Fugitive on the run for 12 years finally detained Trump's new social media app launched Sydney trains to run on reduced schedule today Follow The Briefing DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE BRIEFING NEWSLETTER.
