摘要

Singapore—Australia needs around A$240 billion ($243 billion) invested in the next two decades in the gas and electricity sectors for generation, transmission and distribution to meet future energy demand requirements, Minister for Resources and Energy Martin Ferguson said December 13, as he released a draft of a “white paper” on energy policy. “Over the next two decades, Australia will require massive investment in the gas and electricity sectors,” Ferguson said. “We need sound regulatory frameworks and confidence from investors to ensure that the necessary investment is delivered, and the white paper seeks to deliver this stable framework.”
