Building long-term integrity in the voluntary carbon market
In recent years, an important question has arisen in relation to the voluntary carbon market (VCM) as it continues to expand: How do we elevate and maintain its integrity?
Energy regulatory updater – August
This month we have seen a large number of electricity industry developments and initiatives by the National Electricity Market regulator, operator and rule maker.
In particular, we have seen initiatives by the AEMC and AEMO focussing on reliability and planning. This includes:
- the AEMC’s consultation on its review of the regulatory and market frameworks needed to support a reliable supply of electricity
- the AEMC’s consultation on ways to improve coordination between transmission and distribution network investment planning
- the AEMC’s expansion of the National Electricity Rules to allow more participants in market ancillary services
- AEMO’s initiative to investigate whether a wind farm can provide important power system stability services, which will inform future policy
Also of interest this month is the proposed AEMC rule change to help promote “behind the meter” energy generation and storage initiatives.
