Submission: Australian Energy Regulator Network Resilience Guidelines

Submission | Kate Simmonds | 9 July 2026

IGCC supports the AER’s efforts to provide greater clarity on resilience expenditure. However, the consultation paper focuses primarily on process, rather than strategic issues shaping network resilience. IGCC encourages the AER to strengthen its broader approach to network resilience by closing gaps in climate science and risk assessment, improving system-level coordination, standardising financial assessment of resilience, considering community vulnerability, supporting flexible adaptation pathways, and increasing transparency of decision-making.

Submission: One barrier might come down, but superannuation performance test reforms won’t unlock climate investment on their own

Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 19 June 2026

Changing the superannuation performance test is not the single ‘silver bullet’ solution – in and of itself, reform of the performance test may remove a barrier to investment in some asset classes for some investors, but it will not act as an incentive for more investment. IGCC urges the government to consider any proposed changes to the performance test in the context of all other policy changes available to it that could, or seek to, influence investment in net zero.

Submission: More work needed on the foreign resident capital gains tax regime for renewables

Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 24 April 2026

IGCC respects the Government’s intentions to strengthen and provide clarity to the foreign resident CGT regime. However, the draft legislation contains a number of elements that will chill much-needed investment in renewable energy and create undue sovereign risk. More analysis of the economic impact of the proposed changes is required to establish a level playing field for all investors and appropriate transition arrangements that avoid jeopardising Australia’s energy transition.
