Internal DCCEEW email exchanges from June 2023 discuss how AEMO would treat the 82% renewable energy target in its 2023 Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios Report (IASR) for electricity planning. AEMO proposed not explicitly imposing an 82% target in the National Electricity Market modelling but instead relying on state-based renewable energy targets, while expecting the 82% share would nonetheless be achieved in Step Change and Green Energy Exports scenarios. DCCEEW officials debated whether this approach presented a perception risk to government credibility regarding the 82% commitment, ultimately deciding to proceed with 82% as a National Electricity Market assumption for ISP planning purposes pending further guidance on broader NEM effort requirements.
