Current Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios

AEMO delivers a range of planning and forecasting publications to inform decision making including the Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO), the Gas Statement of Opportunities (GSOO) and the Integrated System Plan (ISP).

AEMO strives to ensure its planning and forecasting publications are of highest quality, with data that is fit for purpose and industry-reviewed and processes that are transparent. To build confidence in the forecasts, and help decision makers understand the outcomes, AEMO consults on and publishes its scenarios, inputs, assumptions and methodologies. Confidential information is withheld from public release, but is incorporated in the modelling conducted, if necessary, to deliver assessments that are as accurate as possible.

The documents on this page present the current final Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios. AEMO is currently consulting on the Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios that it proposes to use in its 2021-22 forecasting and planning activities. Details of the consultation can be accessed below.
