The Council welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the April 2021 Energy Security Board (ESB) discussion paper “P2025 Market Design Consultation Paper” (the Paper). The Council has considered how options presented contribute towards meeting the needs of the aluminium industry and the content has been tested against the Council’s view of design principles for an electricity system. As each smelter, refinery and extruder has unique electricity arrangements, the Council will reserve its comments on the Paper to a high level.
