Presentation Abstract:

Does Fossil Fuel Power Generation Have Role In A Decarbonised NEM?

The nature of our electricity generation assets within the Australian East Cost Electricity system continues to change as Federal and particularly State Governments seek to both promote and deploy variable renewable energy (particularly wind and solar PV) as part of their plans to broadly decarbonise their economies.  Within this context, Total System Cost is slowly being understood to be an important metric to be focused on and optimised, as the electricity system is transformed.  So, what does all this mean for coal and gas power generation in a future where minimising the total system cost becomes the focus?

Tickets for the Technical Luncheon can be purchased below.

Please be advised of the early bird cut-off date.

Early bird pricing will remain available up until Monday 7th of February, 11:00 AM after which, standard pricing will come into effect.

Final numbers to venue required by  Monday 14th of February, 9:00 AM – To avoid disappointment please register before that date and time.

Registrants may elect to book a ‘Talk Only’ ticket below.  Chairs will be made available at the back of the room for members wishing to attend the presentation.

Talk Only tickets are free of charge, however, no refreshments or lunch is included.

• Proof of vaccination can be added to the Queensland Check-In App. It is already a requirement that you use the App to Check-in when you visit a venue, and a Hilton Hotel team member will check with you to ensure compliance with the State Government mandate.
• Guests staying at the hotel will not have to be vaccinated for accommodation purposes. However, they will not be able to enter and remain in Vintaged Restaurant and Bar or attend an event. Only fully vaccinated people can go into those parts of the hotel ‘as above’.
• Masks must be worn at all times in hospitality venues except when seated. This includes pubs, clubs, restaurant, cafes, food courts and other venues where a person buys and consumes food, drinks and ready to eat meals.
