Given the importance of the modelling that underpinned the Finkel report, I am surprised that the minister is not familiar with it. In the business-as-usual case, the modelling report states: 'It is assumed that all coal-fired operators are not willing to invest in half-life retrofits.' Doesn't this demonstrate that the government's policy paralysis is undermining investment in power generation?
