What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Legislation was introduced to Parliament that significantly impacts investment in new renewable energy projects in Australia. Investor groups welcomed amendments to limit the retrospective application of the proposed 30% Capital Gains Tax rate for global investors on renewable energy asset sales. However, these groups warned that further changes are necessary to prevent higher energy prices for households and businesses.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed tax changes and the lack of guaranteed grandfathering arrangements could hobble the development of new renewable energy projects. This could undermine the government’s productivity agenda and increase power prices as older coal-fired power stations shut down.
