QLD wholesale electricity price ($/MWh)
Resulting in unprecedented pricing outcomes across NEM,
including QLDIncreasing electricity and
gas prices
Issues around system security and gas availability
Lack of integrated national energy and climate policy

Delivering against five objectives:
Long-term security of supply
Stable electricity and gas prices for
consumers
Transition to a low carbon electricity
sector
Value for Government
Investment to the state
KEYOBJECTIVES
Priorities out of the Powering Queensland Plan
Planned and measured transition to a low carbon electricity sector
Reaffirm commitment to 50% renewable energy target
Powering North Queensland
Queensland Energy Security Taskforce

50 Percent Renewable Target
4
► Commitment to 50% renewable energy target
► 400 MW reverse auction (including 100 MW energy storage)
► Improve network connection, planning and project facilitation processes
► Advocate for policy certainty through efficient, nationally-integrated energy and climate policies
► Set long-term policy mechanism in 2019
Government response to the Renewable Energy Expert Panel Final Report
50% Renewable Energy Target

Powering North Queensland Plan
$386 million to strengthen and diversify North Queensland’s energy supply, drive economic growth and support 5000 jobs
6
► Strategic transmission infrastructure in north and north-west Queensland
► Hydro-electric and pumped storage generation capacity assessment
► Business case for Burdekin Falls Dam 50 MW hydro-electric power station
► North Queensland strategic gas pipeline infrastructure options
