Supporting the transition to a low-carbon energy supply by providing expert analysis, insights, advice and capability-building

The global energy sector is entering a transition phase as the market moves towards a low carbon economy. With this shift comes technological, economic and social disruption.

CAEEPR aims to maximise the energy sector's potential to achieve emission reductions and contribute to inclusive, sustainable and prosperous businesses and communities while building capacity in the electricity economics. CAEEPR uses a national electricity market model to develop and analyse different scenarios to assess different policy positions for generator dispatch and transmission efficiency.

Our aims

Support

Support the transition to more sustainable and less carbon-intensive power generation and transmission system and address the accompanying policy, economic, technical and political challenges within the industry.

Thought leadership

Provide thought leadership and industry engagement strategies that our members can design and deliver best practice energy services with reduced emissions.

Maximise potential

Maximise the energy sector's potential to achieve stable and reliable electricity contributing to inclusive, sustainable and prosperous businesses, communities and places.

Foster innovation

Foster holistic and integrated approaches that seek to address political and policy impediments to a successful transition to electrification and green hydrogen.

Develop partnerships

Promote research partnerships and collaboration for the use of sustainable energy in electricity markets across Asia and the Pacific.

Encourage dialogue

Encourage dialogue between members, researchers, industry and government departments to promote policy debate, research partnerships and collaboration.

Develop member capabilities

Enhance members' and researchers' skills for adaptability and technical prowess to support sectoral changes in technology, business models, regulations, and electricity markets.

Develop new standards

Create and uphold advanced Electricity Market models for analyzing wholesale spot and future markets, power system reliability, integration of dispatchable and intermittent resources, and network capacity adequacy.

Our research expertise

The Centre for Applied Energy Economics and Policy Research is well positioned to support the transition to a low-carbon energy supply by providing expert analysis, insights, advice and capability-building. The Centre will work with the electrification of industry and organisations to support the future of the 色情网站n economy.

The Centre is hosted by Griffith Business School and is accumulating a group of internationally-recognised specialist researchers in the field of applied energy economics and policy research complementary to our members. Our key areas of strength include:

Wholesale Electricity Market Modelling

CAEEPR provides wholesale electricity market modelling with demonstrated experience and capability in conducting simulation modelling encompassing optimized dispatch outcomes relating to generation, spot prices, power flows on transmission branches flows, network adequacy and network augmentation, operating at a nodal level of detail.

Energy, Renewables and Climate Change Policy

CAEEPR provides high-quality economic analysis to inform public policy relevant to the clean energy and just transition options currently or potentially available to the electricity and broader energy sectors within 色情网站 and to inform investment decisions.

Electricity Market

CAEEPR provides high-quality economic analysis to inform wholesale electricity market policy and design through assessing financial/dispatch outcomes, marginal losses and marginal loss factors and different models of transmission access.

Higher Degree by Research

A variety of research opportunities exist for Honours, Masters, PhD and post-doctoral research students
