Energy Insiders - a RenewEconomy Podcast

Can Alan Finkel’s energy blueprint find a political compromise and beat a path to the Paris climate goals? And why a three-notice requirement for closing coal generators might be a bad idea.

Telstra push into solar to be followed by other corporates, and what Trump’s dumb decision on Paris means for Australia.

Energy Insiders are joined by former CEFC boss Oliver Yates to discuss the latest dramatic developments in storage, transmission costs, renewables auctions and the Finkel Review.

Australia jumps up renewable energy ratings; ARENA high fives solar program; AEMO’s demand response ambition; and Kangaroo Island loses one, wins one in battle with network.

Origin’s record low wind PPA, NSW’s new network sale and what it means for consumers, South Australia’s inertia problems, and automous vehicles.

Is doubling of solar tariffs good or bad?; investment boom means RET will be met; AGL admits gas transition won’t happen thanks to battery storage; and much more.

Turnbull tries to make gas cheap again; AGL cold coal comfort; the solar boom; and new battery storage tenders.

In this latest edition of the RenewEconomy Weekly Energy Podcast, RenewEconomy founder and editor Giles Parkinson and columnist and energy markets expert David Leitch look at new rules that may end the outrageous rorting of wholesale markets by the fossil fuel oligopoly.

Giles Parkinson and David Leitch discuss this weeks main events - politics, solar and storage.
