Read the original article on dailymail.com (opens in a new tab)Peter van Onselen's column argues that Labor's energy transition is behind schedule, citing Rystad Energy modelling that wholesale electricity prices could nearly double by 2029. It attributes the projection to its source and notes that household bills will not necessarily double. Nothing in it misstates the climate science or the documented policy record, and its argument against the government's delivery is not a finding.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“according to new modelling”
The price projection is attributed to modelling and hedged with "could", not stated as a certainty.
“Wholesale electricity is only part of what determines the final price, alongside network charges, retail costs and various other expenses.”
The column tells readers that a rise in wholesale prices does not translate one for one into household bills, which stops the figure misleading.
“Renewables can deliver cheap electricity. Really, they can.”
The column does not blame renewables themselves for high prices. It places the problem in the pace of building a complete system.
