The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the National Energy Guarantee Consultation Paper. Access to affordable and reliable electricity supplies for all users is paramount to maintaining the international competitiveness of Australian agriculture. NFF welcomes the Government moving to a technology neutral position in the generation sector that addresses reliability concerns and emissions reductions in a rapidly transforming national electricity system, but there remains a degree of scepticism that retail prices for agricultural customers will be lowered as a result.
