Australia’s energy operator proposes 'fast change' scenario to cut emissions by 52 per cent by 2030

Greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector would be reduced at twice the rate proposed by the Turnbull government under a radical new plan outlined by the Australian Energy Market Operator.

Greens climate change spokesman Adam Bandt said the
 AEMO report was effectively bypassing the government.
