Mechanisms to support renewable energy
• 20% by 2020 Renewable Energy Target– Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) – 41,000
GWh
– Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
• $3b Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
• A $3b Direct Action Plan to meet Australia’s emission reduction targets using an Emissions Reduction Fund
• New One Million Solar Roofs program

Recent renewables developments in Australia
• 1 million houses now have solar PV systems – 11% of dwellings, 2.5 million Australians
• 420MW Macarthur wind farm opened in Victoria – biggest in Southern hemisphere
• Geodynamics turned on a 1MW demo EGS geothermal system
• $4.2 billion invested in renewables and energy smart technology
• Clean Energy Australia 2012 – www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au

Integration of renewables
• Australia has so far had success at integrating increased renewable energy generation from wind and solar
• South Australia now sources a quarter of its power from wind energy
• Rooftop solar PV has been integrated with few difficulties, but high solar PV penetration in isolated areas can be difficult.

Five best practices for renewables integration
• Lead public engagement, particularly for new transmission
• Coordinate and integrate planning
• Develop rules for market evolution that enable system flexibility
• Expand access to diverse resources and geographic footprint of operations
• Improve system operations

Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
• ARENA administers $3 billion in government funding for renewable energy technology innovation
• ARENA manages existing Australian Government projects supporting renewable energy technology innovation
• ARENA’s aims are to:
– Improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies
– Increase the supply of renewable energy in Australia
• Website: www.arena.gov.au

ARENA projects and initiatives
• Technologies supported by ARENA
include solar, geothermal, wave energy,
biofuels
• Regional Australia’s Renewables initiative
• Emerging Renewables Program
• Accelerated Step Change Initiative
• Renewable Energy Venture Capital Fund

ARENA – supporting large solar power
• ARENA is pursuing large solar power
opportunities in Australia, such as:
– Kogan Creek Solar Boost
– Broken Hill and Nyngan PV
• ARENA also supports next generation
solar research and development
– Australian solar researchers are
world leaders

Summary of lessons learned
• Policies are needed to support both renewables deployment and technology development
• The Renewable Energy Target scheme has been an effective deployment mechanism, at moderate cost to consumers
• Developing energy technologies takes time – a long time
• Existing energy market arrangements matter:
– Opportunities for the private sector to invest
– System capable of integrating variable renewables
• Renewables projects face just as much community opposition as other new developments
