Acknowledgements

Infrastructure Australia acknowledges the significant work being undertaken by government energy departments, the Energy National Cabinet Reform Committee, the Energy Security Board, the Australian Energy Market Commission, the Australian Energy Market Operator, the Australian Energy Regulator and other industry bodies.

When developing the 2021 Plan, we engaged with energy market bodies, industry, government and academics to understand their current programs of work and, if appropriate, align our advice to provide a consistent reform narrative to meet challenges and opportunities.

We would particularly like to acknowledge:

•  AEMO, which is leading the future vision for the electricity network through the Integrated System Plan and is informed by Infrastructure Australia's work analysing the capacity of the Australian infrastructure market

•  the ESB, which, with the market bodies, has released an options paper to inform a post-2025 market design

•  the AEMO-ARENA (Australian Renewable Energy Agency) Distributed Energy Integration Program (which aims to maximise the value of customers' distributed energy resources for all energy users), in which Infrastructure Australia participated

•  our partner the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, which ensured the 2021 Plan was informed by the best expertise.
