AGL is also supportive of the Australian Government taking a whole-of-economy approach to developing Australia’s Net Zero Plan, which will guide how Australia can transform our economy to net zero by 2050. The individual sectoral plans that cover all the major components of Australia’s economy can ensure that the Net Zero Plan and the development of 2035 emissions targets are informed of all of opportunities, challenges, and constraints faced by Australia in meeting its net zero ambitions. Importantly, there are key interactions between each of the sector plans, particularly the Transport Sector Plan and the Electricity and Energy Sector Plan, which will need to be carefully considered as part of the development of the Net Zero Plan.
