sec.15 Making and approving system outlook

The Minister must make a document called the ‘Energy System Outlook’ (the system outlook ) which may be part of another document. The system outlook must— identify the particular significant electricity infrastructure projects, including the sequencing and timing of delivery of the projects, that each help to meet the strategic infrastructure path objectives; and priority transmission investments hub transmission networks for regional energy hubs large scale energy storage describe how the electricity infrastructure projects mentioned in paragraph (a) each help to meet the strategic infrastructure path objectives; and identify parts of Queensland regions that are possibly suitable to be regional energy hubs; and include any other matter prescribed by regulation. The system outlook may also include— an estimate of the operating life of each publicly owned coal-fired power station; and estimates, at intervals the Minister considers appropriate, of matters relating to the capacity of energy infrastructure that are required to achieve the strategic infrastructure path objectives; and the total nameplate rating of generating systems in Queensland that are capable of producing electricity the total capacity of infrastructure connected to transmission systems in Queensland to generate electricity on demand the total capacity for storage of energy in a form capable of being converted to electricity in Queensland the total capacity of devices that generate electricity that are owned by Queensland consumers any other matter the Minister considers relevant to achieving— the strategic infrastructure path objectives; or the purposes of this Act. The system outlook takes effect only if it has been approved by regulation. The Minister must publish the system outlook on the department’s website. s 15 amd 2025 No. 30 s 13 (sec.15-ssec.1) The Minister must make a document called the ‘Energy System Outlook’ (the system outlook ) which may be part of another document.
