"“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always
reach my destination.” Or so said the actor Jimmy Dean.
There are many who doubt whether Australia can meet its current official target
of reaching 82 per cent renewables by 2030, although federal climate and energy
minister Chris Bowen insists it still can.
One thing that seems certain, however, is that the manner of getting there, and
closer to 100 per cent renewables over the following decade, is about to get a
fundamental rethink, and it could end up delivering the most significant change
to the country’s renewable energy blueprint yet.
In brief, there is likely to be a step change to the Step Change scenario that
has underpinned government policy for the last three years, and official
planning well before that. Far from slowing it down, it could actually
accelerate it.
It’s a change that has been brewing for a while – the combined impact of smart
new technologies, the soaring cost of transmission, the poor management of
social licence issues, and some deep analysis about the best way forward. And
the rise of consumer power."
