Key recommendations
We welcome the opportunity to respond to this consultation however we feel that the questions do not fully address some of the important provisions necessary to achieve decarbonisation of the electricity system by 2035.
We would therefore like to also consider our recommendations together with answers to your questions which include:
- Whole system approach
- Power System Architecture
- New technology
- Planning processes
- Role of interconnectors
- Climate change
- Future governance
- Regional planning - coordination between the FSO and proposed Regional System Planner (RSPs)
- Investment in infrastructure
- Home energy efficiency
- Smart homes
- Built-in adaptation
