3 Electricity demand and synthetic load profile Wind and solar energy potential mapping The OECM power analysis model estimates the GIS mapping was used to ascertain Australia’s solar development of the future power demand and the and wind energy resources. [...] outside temperature, the utilisation of the line, the frequency, the physical characteristics of the line, the length of the line and power generation capacity Generation technologies, regional connected to the line. [...] Based on the re-estimated The locations of gas power plants are fixed and historical load and generation, the maximum load the installation of new capacities will depend on (demand), power generation and residual load was the possibility of fuel supply. [...] accounts for the drop in sustainable yield in both Harvested native forests are reported as a net sink Tasmania and NSW due to the reduction in the because the emissions from the relatively smaller available resource (due to past over harvesting, fires areas that are logged each year are swamped by and the shifting of state forests into reserves). [...] LIVING AND WORKING IN BUILDINGS THAT ARE ELECTRIFIED AND EFFICIENT For the purposes of this report, the building The modelling also accounted for the expected emissions were disaggregated from stationary increase in total building floor area to 2030, using energy using emissions data from the Australian ABS data on the average floor area for new builds Government 2023 projection for current and an.
