"Australia’s coal power stations will all close in 2038 – five years earlier
than previously expected – and variable renewable energy capacity will need to
triple by 2030 and increase sevenfold by 2050.

These are two key findings in the latest roadmap for Australia’s largest grid
and electricity market, the National Electricity Market. The draft of a
document known as 2024 Integrated System Plan was released today by the
Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). It lays out a comprehensive path for
the next 20 years as we wean ourselves off coal and embrace renewables firmed
by storage."
