Innes Willox from the Ai Group has said:

… a very helpful step to addressing fears that inadequate supply would pose to price and reliability this decade.

Andrew Richards from the Energy Users Association has said:

Nick Carter, the CEO of BlackRock owned Akaysha Energy, has said:

Super fund CEO Debby Blakey has said:

Today's announcement by the Federal Government opens the doors to investors like HESTA to play a more significant role in Australia's energy transition.

This is about encouraging private sector investment to fill the void that will be created as closures occur, making sure that there aren't energy shortages around the country, making sure that the system is more reliable. On that note, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
