First, what is the Finkel review?
The Finkel review is the shorthand name for a review of the national electricity market, commissioned by federal and state energy ministers last year.
It was prompted - in part - by the blackouts in South Australia, which focused national attention on energy security.
The review will provide governments with a blueprint for energy security across the grid. It will also look at affordability and sustainability, as more renewable energy flows into the electricity system, and coal-fired power stations close.
Read the piece by Stephanie Peatling in today’s Melbourne Age - “The Finkel review explained: what's in it, and why you should care.”
