  • Future directions for the National Electricity Market, considering generation, network and demand-side options and how innovation might be facilitated and managed by incorporating “smart-grid” concepts in the National Electricity Market decision-making framework

About the Course

This course has been designed to provide a comprehensive guide to the conceptual basis, rules and regulations, operation and potential future evolution of the Australian competitive electricity industry.

The course will examine the current state and future evolution of the decision-making framework that has been created for the Australian electricity industry, by assessing the design, outcomes, strengths and weaknesses, and potential enhancements to, the industry’s commercial, governance, security and technical regimes.

The course will draw on recent research and industry assessments undertaken for Australian governments and industry regulatory bodies.
