More than half of Australia's population could be at risk of low energy supply in the coming years unless new renewable energy projects are completed and connected on schedule.

The Australian Energy Market Operator today released a report forecasting the power reliability for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.

However, the forecast doesn't include federal and state government projects that would significantly boost the energy network's capacity. "The AEMO shows that if transmission, generation and storage build out proceeds per the timelines considered typical by AEMO... NSW and Victoria are forecast to breach the reliability standard over most of the outlook period," she said.

"The real reliability gap here is the failure of authorities to accelerate the rollout of renewable energy, transmission and grid connections needed to ensure cheap and reliable energy to consumers statewide," he said.
