EESA Event: Carbon Constrained Future
Where: Engineers House, Chapman Hall, 11 Bagot Street, North Adelaide.
When: 5.45pm Wednesday 6th May 2009. Refreshments from 5:00pm.
This event is hosted by the Electric Energy Society of Australia.
Coma along and find out what the carbon emission target for 2020 is planning to achieve.
Speaker: David Swift of ESPIC
This seminar is to provide National and South Australian perspectives of the future profiles in electricity generation,
taking planned carbon level constraints into consideration.
National Perspective: ACIL Tasman prepared a report for the esaa in July 2008, “The Impact of an ETS on the
Energy Supply Industry”. This report presents the results of year 2020 simulations of the electricity markets for
“business as usual” conditions and for target percentage reductions in carbon emissions from the year 2000 levels.
Paul is to present the results of this study, up dated for the newly established carbon emission target (of 5%
reduction on year 2000 levels).
South Australian Perspective: This presentation is to give projections of the expected load growth in South Australia
to 2020 and the potential new generation capabilities required for “business as usual” and with the carbon emission
and renewable energy targets taken into account. The potential impacts on the South Australian power system
and the national grid will also be considered.
