The Renewable Energy Systems program aims to understand the geopolitical, economic and technological drivers needed to ensure the successful trade in renewable electricity. By providing the techno-economic basis, this project aims to show how zero-carbon electricity systems can be broadly viewed as a secure and reliable economic opportunity in Australia and the world. This project will also provide a greater understanding of the scale of the opportunity for renewable electricity exports from Australia.
