“…There had been no significant failure to comply with the provisions of the Act. By early 2004 the number of approved RE generators had approximately doubled (Kent and Mercer, 2005). These indications were positive, but underlying them were potentially problematic issues for the MRET in its role of long term RE development.…”

“…In the first three years of the MRET the number of approved RE generators nearly doubled -but almost half that increase comprised landfill gas and photovoltaic sources, unlikely to provide a long term volume base (Kent and Mercer, 2005). Wind development remained as the most likely candidate for volume RE electricity production in Australia (BCSE, 2003) -but program settings failed to provide a coherent development path for that to occur.…”

“…Like all signatories, Australia must reduce its carbon emissions by 60% on 2000 levels by the year 2050, while rebalancing to a minimum of 20% renewable energy consumption by the year 2020 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2007b). This is problematic, given that over 80% of Australia's current electricity generation is coal based (and hence carbon intensive), while renewable hydro-electric power accounts for only 6% of national electricity supply (Kent and Mercer, 2006;Energy Supply Association of Australia, 2008). Stakeholder fi rms and industries have tended to see the requirement to address the indirect costs of carbon release as a costly obligation rather than an opportunity for innovation (Griffi ths and Zammuto, 2005).…”

“…In reality, a precise distinction cannot be made between market and regulatory instruments as all market-based instruments exist in a regulatory and institutional setting (Diesendorf, 2007). In Australia, all of the most prominent competitive energy markets have major regulatory components, including the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET), the National Electricity Market (NEM), and the WA Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) (International Energy Agency, 2001;Australian Greenhouse Office, 2003;Stewart, 2004;Western Australian Government Gazette, 2004;Independent Market Operator (Western Australia), 2006;Kent and Mercer, 2006;Outhred, 2007).…”
