National CER strategy could bring down energy prices

The council added that it will also result in over 18,000 job opportunities.

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) released the National Consumer Energy Resources (CER) Roadmap which found that Australian households and businesses could save up to $71 annually on energy bills with a unified national strategy for CER uptake.

CEC said that with the CER national strategy, households could incur such annual savings, whether or not they have installed CER technologies such as rooftop solar and home batteries.

“It is critical that we get the policy settings right to maximise the benefits of Australia’s rooftop solar success story,” Clean Energy Council Policy Director – Distributed Energy, Con Hristodoulidis, said.

“Australia’s electrification journey has only just begun and adopting CER at even greater scale will be the key to lowering power bills and a timely energy transition.”

Aside from the annual energy savings on bills, CEC said that the pathway could create 18,200 additional jobs in manufacturing, sales, design and installation, and over (A$22b) in savings for Australian taxpayers to 2050, amongst others.

Under the lowest cost pathway, CER storage capacity is projected to reach 34 gigawatts (GW), whilst orchestrated capacity integrated into the grid will be at 27 GW by 2050.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
