This report provides a roadmap to achieve the 50 per cent renewable energy target for the Northern Territory, over the next decade, whilst maintaining the affordability of energy supply and without compromising network reliability and security.
The Roadmap has been developed across five themes which broadly encapsulate the key issues that will be faced in the Northern Territory as the rollout commences: ’renewable energy as a supporter of economic development’, ‘finance and investment’, ‘governance and regulation’, ‘technology, security and reliability’ and ‘engaging the community’. The report includes eleven Recommendations that the Panel considers will put the Northern Territory on a sustainable, reliable, and least cost path towards achieving the 50 per cent renewable energy target. The Panel has also provided some suggested Enabling Actions that detail specific actions and measures that will support the implementation of the Recommendations.
