The National Market came into existence 25 years ago with its exclusive focus on capital efficiency.  The owners of the traditional energy industry are now facing problems as result of the renewable energy revolution which operates outside the National Market. To adapt to this the regulatory framework has become considerably more complicated.

This presentation will provide an overview of the current regulatory and market difficulties and explore future potential electricity market scenarios.
