The Japanese Government began to reform the Japanese electricity market in 2016, some 25 years after Paul Keating kicked off Australia’s energy reform. The Australian process opened up generation, network and retail from being a purely government operated sector. This saw an increase in private investment and the integration of State-based grids.
The speaker Felix Karmel examines the various parts of the Australian Energy sector. It looks at the history of the National Electricity Market and how the reform process has proceeded. From this five lessons from the Australian experience are drawn.
