"At least the states have a plan," said Chloe Munro, chairwoman of the national energy market operator's expert advisory panel.
Speaking at a symposium on energy futures, she said that while other countries were grappling with the transition towards clean energy, Australia was leaving it to the market, with potentially negative consequences for the community.
She said states were setting renewable energy targets in a time of unstable supply, rapidly rising wholesale prices and a lack of direction from Canberra.
