Origin’s sudden desire to adjust the Renewable Energy Target blatantly contradicts its own advice to government about the need for regulatory stability.
Origin Energy signed the biggest renewable energy PPA in Australia and then undid its good work by suggesting a change to the RET – one that would have a devastating impact on renewables.
A presentation from Origin Energy's Grant King highlights how Coalition rhetoric on the carbon tax is cutting through, and paves the way for a reduction in the renewable energy target.
The energy company's chief executive discusses the impact of the carbon price, how it will be passed on to consumers and the future of renewables.
Origin Energy CEO Grant King takes aim at the two extremes of the energy debate, defends gas and CSG, and points to a future of hybrid technologies.
The Origin Energy CEO talks carbon politics and policy, how gas might replace coal, the prospects for renewables like geothermal, hydro and solar, EVs and the 'negawatt.'
The Origin Energy managing director talks to Climate Spectator about the need for a carbon price in Australia and his company's plans in wind, solar and geothermal.
Grant King's views on electricity demand carry weight in Canberra, and his latest numbers – the equivalent of yanking Victorian consumption from alternative forecasts – impose new challenges on both sides of politics.
