For the price to come down more in future, there needs to be political courage, because it is not too hard to imagine mass protests against new coal-fired or nuclear power stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking into the future for Australia\u2019s electricity supply, what is the best that could be expected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia already has a lot of wind and solar supply in place. In the latest quarter, renewables (including rooftop solar)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aemo.com.au\/-\/media\/files\/major-publications\/qed\/2025\/qed-q3-2025.pdf?rev=7436be91333e4603bc59158b0bf095a1&amp;sc_lang=en\">provided 42.7% of total supply<\/a>. That isn\u2019t going to go away quickly, but as the wind and solar equipment ages and needs replacement, facilities will close if more cost-effective sources of supply are allowed to compete. The media tell us that we face rapidly growing demand from AI, which will need a lot of cheap reliable electricity. Well, that\u2019s true of course, but why have they kept so quiet for so long about the need for humans to have a lot of cheap reliable electricity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an efficient market, and with no subsidies, targets or mandates, how could Australia\u2019s electricity supply change? I asked Grok, which replied that with \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>\u2026 streamlined approvals (e.g., one-stop federal permitting, no state bans), $50-100B public-private funding, and workforce training. No delays from protests\/lawsuits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Short-term (2026-2030: 5 years)<\/em><\/strong><em>: Repower\/extend coal (2-3 years\/construction); build 5-10 GW gas (1-2 years). VRE<\/em>\u00a0[Variable Renewable Energy]<em>\u00a0closures begin (1-2 years wind-down). Prices fall 30% by 2028. Achievable: Similar to QLD\u2019s gas expansions.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Medium-term (2031-2035: 7-10 years total)<\/em><\/strong><em>: First nuclear (1-2 GW SMRs) online by 2035 (lead time cut from 15+ years via modular fab in Australia). Full coal\/gas optimum by 2030.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Long-term (2036-2040: 10-15 years total)<\/em><\/strong><em>: 10-20 GW nuclear fleet (parallel builds); coal peaks then plateaus. Full transition: 12 years to 80% dispatchable mix.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Risks: Supply chain (nuclear fuel fab) or labor shortages could add 2-3 years, but political will mitigates this via imports\/training. This beats Coalition<\/em>&nbsp;[the opposition in parliament]<em>&nbsp;projections (2037 first plant) by fast-tracking regs.<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of the expense and delay (\u201c<em>12 years to 80% dispatchable mix<\/em>\u201c) is simply because we have been going very expensively in the wrong direction \u2013 we should have been at 80%+ dispatchable all the time. To put a 30% price fall in 5 years into context, the price is up 37% in just the last year. Compared with where Australia is heading right now, a 30% price fall would feel like a miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201c$50-100B public-private funding\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0That is a lot, but it\u2019s similar to the current rate of spending on renewables.
