Our submission focuses on two key areas which we believe are crucial to ensuring the CIS meets its own stated principles – particularly “affordability” and being “clean technology agnostic”:

  • More closely aligning its final design with the Australian Energy Market Commission’s (AEMC) work on reliability settings.
