Submission to the select Committee on Energy Planning and Regulation in Australia
This submission written by Professorial Fellow, Ron Ben David covers two main sections:
Section 1 focuses on the urgent reform of recognising consumers legislatively, emphasising that this is not merely a courteous move but a fundamental economic necessity for the efficiency and effectiveness of national energy markets. It suggests introducing a new regulatory objective into relevant laws and provides two examples to illustrate how this objective could be practically implemented through updated market and regulatory structures.
Section 2 addresses the terms of reference, acknowledging their breadth and complexity, which could each warrant an in-depth, year-long examination. Consequently, the section provides high-level comments on these topics due to their expansive nature.

Submission responding to the commission’s draft terms of reference for a proposed review into Electricity pricing for a consumer-driven future
In this insightful submission, Professorial Fellow, Ron Ben David presents a comprehensive examination of the current energy market and its regulatory framework. Divided into three sections, the submission first highlights the risks consumers face if the review process fails to bridge the gap between regulatory assumptions and market realities. The second section offers five innovative approaches to rethinking energy consumers and markets, aiming to enhance understanding and engagement. Concluding with actionable recommendations, the third section proposes nine strategies for addressing the complexities of the market and improving consumer experiences through transparency, collaboration, creativity, and critical analysis.
The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Monash University or its affiliated institutes.

Unlocking green metals opportunities for a Future Made in Australia: consultation paper
The Australian Government has identified green metals—specifically low-emissions iron, steel, alumina, and aluminium—as a priority industry for its "Future Made in Australia" initiative. The goal is to understand the barriers to decarbonising green metals production and to identify what would encourage new investment in these sectors. This will guide policy development to support a green metals industry in Australia and contribute to the government's Net Zero Plan, including the Industrial Sector Plan.
To achieve this, the government sought insights, data, and analysis from various stakeholders, which is what this paper is in response to.

Submission in response to the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) Design
Associate Professor Guillaume Roger, Professor Simon Wilkie and Dr Gordon Leslie recently responded to the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) Design. To read the full submission, click HERE
The Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) fosters new investment in renewable and clean dispatchable energy capacity, such as wind, solar, and battery storage, to enhance Australia's energy system. It targets a more reliable, affordable, and low-emissions energy landscape, aiming to deliver additional 32 GW capacity by 2030 and meet the 82% renewable electricity target. Through competitive tender bids, the CIS will fill expected reliability gaps as coal power stations phase out. It promises economic growth, job creation, and support for regional communities and Indigenous peoples. The Australian Government provides revenue underwriting with defined 'floor' and 'ceiling' levels to reduce financial risks for investors and stimulate investment in necessary areas. Revenue underwriting is a global mechanism to support energy transition. Learn more about CIS design here.

Future Gas Strategy: consultation paper
The Australian Government is in the process of formulating a Future Gas Strategy and is inviting input to assist in strategic planning for the future. This aims to facilitate Australia's and the region's transition to a net-zero scenario. The strategy will outline both medium-term (up to 2035) and long-term (up to 2050) plans for gas production and consumption in Australia. Acknowledging the uncertainties surrounding the future of gas, the strategy will prioritize flexibility to enhance resilience in the face of unforeseen events and circumstances.
