On Behalf of All Australians COAG Needs To Develop The National Energy Guarantee

Representatives of Australia’s businesses, communities, environment, the energy industry, and workers are calling on the Commonwealth and States to work together in good faith and a spirit of compromise to make further development of the National Energy Guarantee (the Guarantee) their top priority.

Australia is suffering unsustainably high electricity prices and rising emissions, and our reliability and cost challenges will worsen if the retirement of aging generators is not managed well. The new private investment needed to turn the situation around will not be forthcoming without confidence in a credible, scalable, integrated, and enduring long-term energy and climate policy framework.
