A new report by Marsden Jacob Associates, commissioned by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, indicates that a coordinated approach to electricity transmission and generation in the Pilbara could save Australia over $30 billion in the next 25 years. The report advocates for a common user transmission infrastructure model to reduce emissions and costs, as the region currently generates 98% of its power from fossil fuels, despite possessing significant renewable energy potential. It calls for urgent collaboration among industry stakeholders to avoid costly inefficiencies and ensure a successful energy transition.
