Clean Energy Investor Group CEO Richard Merzian was recently quoted in an article by The Australian Financial Review that unpacks the increasing costs of constructing transmission lines in Australia and the impact that this is having on investors. New transmission lines are critical to unlocking and delivering clean and affordable energy to consumers but delays and increases in the costs of materials and wages are currently leading to greater risk for clean energy investors. “The reality is that higher and unpredictable transmission costs raise the risk for clean energy investors.” “This adds to the challenging timeframes already faced with state and federal assessment processes.” Investment in clean energy generation is crucial to reducing emissions and reaching our nation’s important climate targets and so CEIG will continue to advocate for policy that mitigates uncertainty and promotes investor confidence.
