Energy Transition Working Group We provide members with the space and strategic direction to influence government policy and regulation regarding renewable energy. The group’s goal is to help unlock policy settings that will give new renewables projects the appropriate scale and risk-return profiles for investors to confidently allocate capital. Factors will include the supply, demand and exit considerations that are impacting the transition to a zero-emissions electricity system and clean exports. The sub-group was spun out of the main policy and advocacy working group in June 2023 Contact Bethany Richards Manager, Policy Email Bethany The Clean Energy Investment Landscape $52b Federal and State/Territory governments' allocation for the energy sector's transition $420b estimated private investment required to transition the National Electricity Market 6GW additional capacity required annually until 2035* *based on the least-cost national emissions pathway. Global Competition for Capital Our members are struggling to find Australian projects that meet the scale and risk-return profiles available in other markets. To help Australia become a more investable market we provide our members with a clear understanding of renewable energy supply-side opportunities across Federal and State/Territory jurisdictions. A Just Transition As we decarbonise our energy system, Australia has the opportunity to provide security for portfolios, communities and companies. This includes understanding Australia’s exposure, via the fossil fuel export industry, to global emissions-reduction efforts, and assisting emissions-intensive regions to diversify their economies. Our Areas of Focus Supply Investment opportunities may involve developing and integrating renewables into a dynamic grid and a coordinated approach to commissioning generators and batteries during the shift away from traditional constant supply. Demand Providing investors with ways to support efficient energy use, renewable energy certificates, and household energy upgrades. Exit Supporting a transition away from fossil fuels while maintaining energy supply and minimising transition risks in domestic electricity systems and global exports. Latest Energy Transition News, Resources, and Events Submission: Community Benefits Principles for a Future Made in Australia 10 February 2026 RIAA and IGCC welcome the Government’s focus on efforts to facilitate private investment in important projects, many of which will be required for the Australian economy to transition to net-zero carbon emissions. In addition, the Future Made in Australia (FMiA) initiative underscores the government's vital role in shaping a sustainable finance agenda, a perspective long championed by both our organisations.
