This research paper was commissioned by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to provide an overview of the off-grid and fringe-of-grid renewable energy market in Australia to assist market entrants and established participants obtain a broader appreciation of this emerging market. The paper provides an insight into Australia’s renewable energy resources, electricity markets and regulatory environment through outlining current industry perspectives on Australia’s off-grid and fringe-of-grid renewable energy market gleaned from published papers and consultations with key stakeholders.
The paper will also serve as a baseline evaluation prior to the commitment of project funding through the ARENA’s Regional Australia’s Renewable (RAR) Program and therefore focuses on the remote energy market up to the end of 2013.
