New newsletter
The November issue of the monthly Coolibah Commentary newsletter is now published on the website (look under “News”).
Among 20 items it covers are a new paper on geothermal, with a warning that investors are concerned about its high cost and the level of development risk involved, and three looking at issues affecting New South Wales, including the O’Farrell government’s first perspective on the outlook for State energy supply and the large problems posed by the Cobbora mine development.
The newsletter also includes a report on a paper that estimates investment in electricity assets reached almost $260 billion between 1955 and 2006 when calculated in 2011 dollar values.
It also highlights the “core question” for electricity network development as identified by the Australian Energy Market Commission.
