This report analyses satellite-based land surface temperature and population exposure across 1400 global cities between 2002 and 2021. Findings indicate that urban surface temperatures rose significantly, with climate change amplifying heat exposure by 82% relative to population growth alone, particularly affecting continental and arid regions.

This IEEFA report warns that Germany's overoptimistic hydrogen demand projections risk creating a €45 billion fiscal liability. Building oversized infrastructure ahead of demand shifts costs to taxpayers via the amortisation account. It recommends prioritising liquid derivative imports and gating pipeline expansion to verified industrial demand to protect long-term competitiveness.

This report examines the 'missing middle' segment of Australia’s commercial and industrial energy sector. It identifies critical regulatory, connection, and financial barriers hindering distributed energy resource deployment. Key recommendations include standardising connection processes, reforming network tariffs, and establishing a credible certificate price signal to incentivise investment.

This report outlines a strategy for accelerating Australia’s renewable energy infrastructure. It identifies critical bottlenecks in the workforce, planning approvals, capital allocation, and supply chains. Proposing a ‘warp speed’ mandate, the document provides 24 recommendations to achieve the rapid generation, transmission, and storage expansion required for 2035 targets.

This report provides recommendations from the Clean Energy Investor Group to improve decision-making under Australia's reformed EPBC Act. It advocates for consistent administration, better data usage, and the finalisation of regulatory frameworks. The objective is to facilitate efficient renewable energy project approvals while strengthening environmental protection outcomes.

This report assesses global flood risk, identifying that 1.92 billion people and $18.8 trillion in economic output are currently exposed. Using high-resolution hydraulic modelling, it details accelerating losses and projects future vulnerability across regions including Asia-Pacific and Africa, providing a framework for prioritising resilience and financial protection.

Australian pension assets are projected to reach A$8.3 trillion by 2035. With A$264 billion already invested in the UK and EU, these funds are positioned to help close multi-trillion-dollar capital gaps through infrastructure partnerships and strategic regulatory reforms.

The report examines the surge in Australian data centres driven by AI and cloud computing. It warns that unmanaged growth could triple energy demand by 2030, increasing power prices and carbon pollution. Recommendations include mandatory renewable energy support, improved water efficiency, and transparent reporting to align the industry with climate goals.

This guide explores First Nations co-ownership in Australian clean energy projects. It details financial structures, including corporate models and quasi-equity arrangements. The report outlines benefits like economic empowerment and risks such as capital access barriers, providing case studies and negotiation strategies for First Nations communities.

This research report by Nexa Advisory examines gas-fired electricity as a transitional fuel in Australia. Modelling indicates that infrastructure delays could increase reliance on expensive gas, raising wholesale costs by up to $115.7 billion. It recommends accelerating transmission build-out and clarifying gas’s back-up role to protect consumers.

This Nexa Advisory report analyses chronic delays in Australia’s transmission buildout, which threaten climate targets and system reliability. It identifies regulatory barriers, national planning gaps, and social licence challenges as primary roadblocks. The document recommends funding benefit gaps, improving national coordination, and enhancing community engagement to accelerate project delivery.

Nexa Advisory examines regulatory barriers hindering Australia’s transmission expansion. The report argues the existing Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (RIT-T) lacks accountability, causing significant delays. It recommends declaring "Critical National Projects" to streamline delivery, ensuring power system reliability and lower costs for consumers during the clean energy transition.

Analysis by Nexa Advisory identifies Australia’s commercial and industrial energy resources as a 28 GW untapped opportunity. With only 5 GW currently installed, the report recommends dedicated tenders and tariff reforms. Unlocking this capacity could avoid $11 billion in network costs and accelerate the clean energy transition.

This report advocates for "productivity with purpose" to address climate, inequality, and cost-of-living pressures. It proposes tax reforms targeting rents, quality-adjusted metrics for the care economy, and frontloading clean industry investment. The document emphasises streamlining infrastructure approvals and community-led growth to build a more equitable Australian economy.

The Clean Energy Outlook 2026 report highlights declining investor sentiment in Australia's renewable sector. Key challenges include transmission delays and planning approvals. While New South Wales remains the top investment destination, confidence in meeting the 2030 target is low. However, data centres offer significant opportunities for new generation.

The Clean Energy Investor Group (CEIG) supports the Electricity Services Entry Mechanism (ESEM) to address the National Electricity Market's tenor gap. This submission emphasises the importance of contract bankability, investment-grade counterparty ratings, binding transmission development plans, and transparent procurement processes to ensure a successful clean energy transition.
