Global energy wobbles power-up electrification push
Australia’s exposure to energy price shocks, if the tensions in the Middle East rise, even the weekly grocery store on the fire line turned to the agenda.
The return of a ceasefire agreement of the US’s nuclear facilities after bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, but the recycling of global oil prices of $ 79, but the re -revival threat continues.
For clean energy and electrification defenders, the latest fuel price volatility tour of the geopolitics has a reminder to accelerate the transition.
Daniel Bleakley, the founding partner of New Energy Transport, a heavy road load company with zero emission, argues that Australia’s food supply chains are particularly vulnerable to oil price shocks.
The product is stoned at large distances in heavy trucks, and diesel constitutes a large part of the total operating costs for transportation companies.
Heavy truck companies, supermarkets and other transportation customers add diesel additional fees to long -term contracts by adding themselves to oil shocks.
Bleakley, AAP, “This means that Australia’s food distribution system is largely dependent on the price of diesel and the price of the diesel clearly depends on the price of global oil,” he said.
The drivers are also vulnerable to oil -pointed ends, and the Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers wrote to the consumer observer to ask him to follow the price increase in the fuel pump during the last turmoil tour.
Analysts of the Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis Amandine Denis-Ryan and Kevin Morrison said that electric cars can maintain drivers from oil price increases, but the purchases are slow.
In 2024, electric vehicles constitute the record level of 10 percent of Australian sales, and are still far below 20 percent of global new purchases.
Households, efficient electrical heaters and stoves can be insulated themselves from gas price increases.
In a note of the Institute analysts, “Squaved electric alternatives, households will save households from over $ 3.4 billion during the life of these tools,” he said.
Victoria moves away from the gas tools, makes hot water units gradually and makes new buildings completely electric until 2027.
Sydney in the city is going the same way, this week the City Council announced the ban on closed gas appliances in new developments.
Hurry to renewable energies through a wider shift will expose wholesale electric prices to gas and coal prices less.
“In these turbulent times, it is time to look more seriously how Australia can increase energy security and how to better insulate them from global energy shocks, Denis Denis-Iyan and Mr. Morrison said
