AEMO proposes 82% renewable energy supply by 2024, requiring 13 GW of new gas plants to back up renewables due to eastern Australia's low gas supply.
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) proposed 82% renewable energy supply in the 2024 Integrated System Plan, considering gas-backed renewable energy as the most affordable power source for homes. AEMO tested 1,000 scenarios to identify the need for 13 GW of new gas plants to back up renewables within the next 25 years, warning eastern Australia's gas supply is running low.
