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.

This report proposes establishing 'Sovereign Power', a Commonwealth entity to build firmed renewable generation for Australia's heavy industry. By leveraging lower public borrowing costs, it could provide electricity at $66/MWh, 44 percent below market rates, securing sovereign capability and supporting the 'Future Made in Australia' framework.

This submission by the Grattan Institute outlines a productivity agenda for Australia focused on tax reform, talent maximisation, housing supply, and the net-zero transition. It recommends curbing tax concessions, improving childcare affordability, streamlining skilled migration, and rewarding state governments for relaxing restrictive land-use planning rules to boost economic growth.

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 report examines Australia's battery storage boom, detailing how two million household batteries by 2030 could save $4 billion annually. It analyses falling costs, state-level progress, and vehicle-to-grid technology, providing policy recommendations to integrate storage across the grid to accelerate the transition to a reliable, renewable energy system.

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 report identifies the financial and strategic benefits of First Nations participation in Australia's clean energy transition. It highlights five key investor advantages, including accelerated development cycles and improved capital access. It also outlines actions to overcome participation barriers through existing toolkits and international models to unlock economic value.

The Smart Energy Council provides recommendations to enhance national productivity through electrification, circular economy initiatives, and regulatory reform. Key focuses include a $7.3 billion solar resource recovery opportunity and addressing mining approval delays that risk $51 billion in GDP, advocating for streamlined environmental standards and transport decarbonisation.

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 Investor Group (CEIG) responds to the Commonwealth Government’s consultation on EPBC Act reform. Representing a $14 billion renewable energy portfolio, CEIG advocates for sector-specific guidance, improved National EPA resourcing, and clearer streamlined assessment criteria to ensure a predictable and efficient transition to a clean energy future.

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.
