CLEAN ENERGY COUNCIL
CEC is the peak body representing Australia’s renewable energy sector with the
aim of transforming Australia’s energy system into a clean energy system by
leading and supporting the growth of the clean energy industry through:
Shaping policy
Developing standards and regulations and ensuring the integrity of the
industry
Promoting the industry
Providing a range of valuable services to our members, customers and
partners

IPS SCOPE Isolated power grids make up around
5% of Australia’s supplied energy
Frequently located in high quality
wind and solar resource sites where
these technologies are competitive
with diesel and transport costs

REMOTE GRIDS LEAD THE WAY Horizon Power has been innovating in
solar energy for many years
New energy technologies are driving the
exploration of new approaches
Many networks experimenting with
battery storage solutions both in remote
areas and on-grid

IS THE GRID SHRINKING?
Electricity grids could be shrinking,
increasing opportunities to deploy remote
area power grid techniques
Increasing focus on distributed energy
resources to replace grid expansion and
replacement
Regulatory challenges are being
revealed along the way

ENERGY SECURITY
Micro and isolated power grids can overcome
some weaknesses of large grids to extreme
weather events
“Energy security should always be the key
priority” (Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, 29 September
2016)
Planning for resilience has to look to
mechanisms to increase how flexible the system
is to bring it back online quickly and
independently following an outage
