AEMO has been ‘sounding the alarm bells’ on gas shortages for the past week

Sky News Political Reporter Cameron Reddin says the AEMO has been “sounding the alarm bells” over the risk of gas shortages for the past week.

“AEMO’s been pretty clear about this short-term threat as well; it’s been sounding the alarm bells for the best part of a week now about these gas shortages and the threat of running out of gas in winter … due to the underperformance of renewables,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“We know the government has an 82 per cent target for 2030, it’s really relying on that to meet its emissions targets … about 35 per cent roughly is being provided into the system by renewables; that’s on the east coast market.”
