IMPACT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND NATURAL GAS VEHICLES ON THE ENERGY MARKETS

Feeney, Katie and Brass, Daniel and Kua, Dominic and Yamamoto, Atsushi and Tourneboeuf, Elisabeth and Adams, David (2011): IMPACT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND NATURAL GAS VEHICLES ON THE ENERGY MARKETS. Published in:

Abstract

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has commissioned AECOM to undertake a study to investigate the broad costs and benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) on their respective energy markets. The study also identifies the arrangements necessary within these energy markets to facilitate the efficient uptake of these vehicles. This report:assesses the potential uptake of EVs and NGVs and identifies the costs and benefits of EVs and NGVs to the energy markets.This study considers the impact on the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS). As such, the study area comprises Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.
