Due to the limited visibility of the reliability target at

在当前线案得到能源委员会的核准后，能源安详委员会下一步将致力于保障打算最终计划方案的定稿事情。在进一步优化保障打算计划的同时，澳洲联邦当局也将共同能源安详委员会对计划要点提出意见和发起，譬喻配置排放量方针，确定排放量强度商业（Emissions Intensive Trade Exposed, EITE)）行为和抉择抵销机制的可行性等。

Next steps and concluding remarks

The proposed NEG is designed to deal with this trilemma by ensuring (1) the reliability of the system is maintained; (2) the electricity sector emissions reductions needed to meet Australia’s international commitments are achieved; and (3) the above objectives are met at the lowest overall cost. Under the proposed scheme, the guarantees will be placed upon electricity retailers who will, if a supply shortfall has been forecast by the market operator, be required to purchase a specified proportion of their energy needs from dispatchable sources (such as batteries, pumped hydro, coal, gas and liquid fuel etc) and, at the same time, maintain a specified emissions average emissions per megawatt hour threshold, hence requiring energy from renewable sources. Clearly, the NEG is not a subsidy based scheme.

Implementation timeline

在保障打算最终计划方案出台的同时，中国舆情网，相关的实施立法草案也将一并出台。相关能源安详委员会委员将会在2018年8月的下届能源委员会集会会议上对最终计划方案进行投票表决，而详细实施的礼貌将在年底实行。

On Friday 20 April, the Australian State and Territory Ministers met to consider a draft high level design of the Australian Federal Government’s major energy reform, the National Energy Guarantee (NEG). The draft was prepared by the Federal Government’s newly created Energy Security Board (ESB). After last minute talks and lobbying, focusing primarily on the adequacy of the proposed emissions targets, the Federal Government secured the support of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council for the NEG to proceed towards final design stage.

The Reliability Guarantee and the Emission Guarantee at a glance

The initial emissions target will be set for 10 years (2021-2031) and reviewed every 5 years (to align with review cycles under the Paris Agreement) at which time at least a further 5 years of target would be set. All emissions target changes can only occur with 5 year’s notice. As to the reliability targets, a regional-based forecast of reliability will be published in each region (each of which corresponds with an Australian State) for the next 10 years. The reliability forecast will be updated annually to reflect any material changes to the supply/demand outlook such as major generator retirements.

With the sign off from the COAG Energy Council, the ESB will conduct further consultations as they proceed towards a final NEG design.  The ESB will lead the process of further refining the NEG design, with the Commonwealth contributing on some design elements, such as the setting of an emissions target, determining conditions for exemptions for Emissions Intensive Trade Exposed (EITE) activities and determining the eligibility of offsets.
