Since the merger in 2013, ACIL Allen now covers a wide range of industries and works across sectors that include agribusiness and natural resources, energy, government funded services and resources. Their clients are from both government and the private sector.

2023

A report was published in April 2023 on the back of work done for ACIL Allen's client the Australian Research Council. ACIL Allen was engaged to independently evaluate the outcomes and impacts of NCGP-funded research over the past 2 decades and consider the potential future benefits delivered from the funding. The ARC has a key role in Australia’s innovation and research system in supporting Australia’s universities to produce high-quality and impactful research through the delivery of the National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP). It achieves this by allocating funding on a competitive basis to universities undertaking world-class research.

The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) engaged ACIL Allen (with subcontractors GHD), to develop options for a formal Gas Reliability Standard(s) for the interconnected east coast markets. The purpose of such a standard(s) is to provide a benchmark(s) against which system adequacy can be assessed, reliability gaps can be identified, and to support the development and implementation of new gas security and reliability mechanisms. The report was published on 7 May 2023.

ACIL Allen was engaged to conduct a Rapid Current State Assessment for the Global Advanced Industries Hub. This initiative is designed to transform the Western Trade Coast Precinct, comprising the Kwinana Industrial Area (KIA), Rockingham Industrial Zone (KIZ), Australian Marine Complex (AMC) and Latitude 32. The establishment of the Global Advanced Industries Hub will help to support key strategic priorities of government and industry development strategies for the battery and critical minerals, renewable energy, defence, LNG and other advanced manufacturing industries. The report was published in May 2023.

2022

In October 2022, ACIL Allen was engaged to support the preparation of a Clean Economy Workforce Development Strategy. The Clean Economy Workforce Development Strategy is part of the Victorian Government Clean Economy Workforce Skills Initiative, which also comprises a Clean Economy Skills and Jobs Taskforce and Clean Economy Workforce Capacity Building Fund. The purpose of the Strategy is to provide a ten-year framework to inform government planning and investment in skills and training for the Victorian workforce, to deliver the state government’s commitments on climate resilience and the transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

2021

ACIL Allen was engaged by the Australian Department of Health to evaluate the performance of the second National Partnership on Essential Vaccines (NPEV) and identify achievements and limitations. The review will inform decisions regarding the treatment of the second NPEV upon its expiry. It considers whether policy objectives and outcomes and/or outputs of the second NPEV have been achieved and whether they have been delivered in an effective, efficient and appropriate manner. [2] [3]

In February, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) released its draft Default Market Offer (DMO) retail electricity prices for public consultation. ACIL Allen developed the report, titled "Default Market Offer: Wholesale energy and environmental costs estimates for DMO 3 Draft determination". [4] [5]

ACIL Allen supported the AER in designing the forecasting approach for the wholesale and environmental cost components of the DMO.

On 12 March, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull joined Industry Super Australia chairman Greg Combet to discuss the future of the super system and to launch a new independent report. Commissioned by Industry Super Australia and developed by ACIL Allen, the report - "Economic Impact of increasing the Super Guarantee Rate" - showed how an increase in the Super Guarantee will lead to a bigger economy, more jobs, higher real wages and higher real incomes for Australians. [6]

In June 2021, the Victorian Department of Education and Training engaged ACIL Allen Consulting to outline the policy environment for mobilising Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data with schools and communities and the relevance of data in achieving policy goals. There was a particular interest in social and emotional well-being given limited improvement in AEDC results over time and the potential impacts of COVID-19. The engagement examined the policies of government from the years before school, during school and into early post school years. The report documents the policy environment for mobilising Australian Early Development Census data across the early life course as part of a comprehensive monitoring system approach. [7]

A collective of Western Australian aged care providers engaged ACIL Allen in December 2020 to produce a detailed study quantifying the important economic and social impact of the Aged Care Sector to Western Australia’s economy and society more broadly. The report was launched at a Business News breakfast event in Perth on 28 May 2021. [8] [9] [10] [11]

ACIL Allen has on several occasions been engaged by the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources to undertake emission projections for the electricity sector through to 2030 as part of Australia’s overall emission projections. These projections form part of Australia’s reporting obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). [12] [13]

ACIL Allen was commissioned by the Victorian Department of Education and Training in 2017 to conduct an evaluation of the Respectful Relationships initiative. The Respectful Relationships initiative supports schools and early childhood settings to promote and model respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. [14] The evaluation examines the implementation and effectiveness, measuring the impact on students, staff and school communities and funded early childhood education programs. This project is ongoing until 2024.

2020

In partnership with the Seedling Group, ACIL Allen led the project ‘Don’t judge, and listen: keys to breaking down drug and alcohol use stigma’, by appointment from the Queensland Mental Health Commission. [15] The research explored the impact of stigma and discrimination related to problematic alcohol and other drug use on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, families and individuals living in Queensland. The report to the Queensland Mental Health Commission was published in March 2020.

In April 2020, ACIL Allen was commissioned by the University of Sydney to assess the economic contribution and impact the University has made to the national and state economies from 2006 to 2019. [16] [17]

In April and July 2020, ACIL Allen conducted a stocktake of drought resilience research, development, extension and adoption (RDE&A) knowledge for the Future Drought Fund. [18] This work, on behalf of the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment was to inform its future strategic investment in drought resilience RDE&A. [19]

In 2020, ACIL Allen conducted an independent review into the functions, performance and efficiency of Meat & Livestock Australia. [20] [21] [22]

In June 2020, the Port Hedland Industries Council (PHIC) announced the publication of a new report titled "The economic significance of the port of Port Hedland". [23] The report was originally commissioned and produced in 2017 and titled "An economic study of the Port Hedland port". [24] Since the findings in the 2017 report, the Port of Port Hedland has seen significant development, including increased activity in and around the port, elevating the economic value of the port to the region. The impact of the trade that is facilitated through the port to the local, state and national economies was so significant, it resulted in the PHIC, in conjunction with the Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) once again engaging ACIL Allen to develop the new report that provided an assessment, and updated on the findings from the 2017 report. That report, as mentioned previously was titled "The economic significance of the port of Port Hedland" and was published in June 2020. [25]

Since 2019, ACIL Allen has been engaged by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), to apply the ACIL Allen methodology to estimate the wholesale energy costs for New South Wales, South Australia, and south-east Queensland. This is done as part of the AER’s determination of the Default Market Offer (DMO) which acts as a price cap for retail electricity prices. [26] [27]

ACIL Allen developed the methodology for setting the wholesale component of regulated retail electricity prices for the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) in 2013. Since then (2013 – 2021), they have been regularly engaged to estimate the wholesale energy costs, as part of the QCA’s determination of regulated electricity prices for users in Queensland. ACIL Allen were engaged by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) for support in updating the design of the forecasting approach for wholesale and environmental costs. [28]

With increasing focus on hydrogen as an alternative energy source, ACIL Allen has been conducting research into its economic viability and the development of a National Hydrogen Strategy, since 2003. A number of reports have been produced on the back of this and further research that has been conducted. The most recent report was published in January 2020 and found renewable electrolysis to be the most expensive method of hydrogen production, when compared with other methods. [29] ACIL Allen also prepared several of the reports and papers commissioned by the National Hydrogen Strategy Taskforce. [30]

ACIL Allen’s Director Jerome Fahrer provided expert evidence on behalf of the claimants in the Robodebt class action in 2020. [31]

In December of 2020, the report on an economic model for the Australian sugar industry trade and market access strategy was published. For this work, ACIL Allen was engaged by Sugar Research Australia (SRA) to develop SugarMark, a multi-region computable general equilibrium model that would incorporate a detailed specification of the global sugar supply chain. The work involved analysis of the application of SugarMark to inform the trade-policy and market-access strategy of the Australian sugar industry.

2019

Geoscience Australia commissioned ACIL Allen for an independent analysis quantifying the return on investment from selected Exploring for the Future (EFTF) projects that are representative of the nature of the work done under the program. The objective was to develop a plausible and economically robust estimate of the returns to government through increased government revenue as a result of the case study projects. [32]

In 2019, ACIL Allen, in conjunction with GHD, produced the report "Hydrogen to support electricity systems" for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). [33]

Over several years, ACIL Allen has worked with ElectraNet in South Australia providing estimates around wholesale electricity prices. The most recent work, in 2019 updated earlier analysis (from 2018) of the impact Project EnergyConnect might have on wholesale electricity prices in South Australia. [34] [35]

2018

In the 2018 South Australian state election, the Liberal Party was required to issue a retraction by the electoral commissioner after they misrepresented ACIL Allen modelling. [36]

In August 2018, the report "Opportunities for Australia from Hydrogen Exports" was published. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency commissioned ACIL Allen to produce the report. [37]

2017

In its bid to wins power at the March state election, the South Australian Liberal Party announced its intention to spend $200 million on fast-tracking a new electricity interconnector to NSW to bolster the fragile electricity grid. Economic modelling conducted by ACIL Allen Consulting showed the average household power bill would decline by up to $302 a year under the Liberal plan, by 2021-2022. [38]

In 2017, the report "South Australian Green Hydrogen Study" was produced by ACIL Allen, for the Department of Premier & Cabinet, in conjunction with Advisian and Siemens. [39]

2016

In 2016, ACIL Allen conducted research for the Australian Automobile Association on transport infrastructure funding. The report that came from that research, called for a new funding model, with the research indicating that the federal government was likely to invest, "less than half the $81 billion in taxes it takes from motorists in new transport infrastructure over the next five years." [40] [41]

2015

In 2015 ACIL Allen undertook a study on behalf of the property industry’s peak lobby, the Property Council of Australia. Analysis of the results determined that "Australia’s economy could be almost $40 billion better off if state and federal governments abolish a series of inefficient taxes, increase the GST rate to 12.5 per cent and broaden it to include fresh food, education and health." [42]

2013

ACIL Allen Senior Associate Vince Fitzgerald provided litigation support as an expert witness for the AGS to support the government’s mandating of plain tobacco packaging.

Background

The ACIL Consulting brand was established in the early 1980s. The Allen Consulting brand was established in the late 1980s by Geoff Allen, who prior to that was the foundation CEO of the Business Council of Australia. [43] In March 1989 he was joined at Allen Consulting by Dr Vince FitzGerald, previously Secretary of the Australian Government’s Department of Employment Education and Training and Secretary of the Department of Trade. [44]

In 2002 ACIL Consulting merged with Tasman Economics to create ACIL Tasman. [43] [45]

ACIL Allen was created in April 2013 as the result of a merger between ACIL Tasman and the Allen Consulting Group. [46]

Tasman Institute

The Tasman Institute was founded by Michael G. Porter in 1990 as a neoliberal think tank, based on his attempts in 1987 to found a private university and his earlier think tank, the Centre of Policy Studies. [47] During the 1990s, it became one of the three largest neo-liberal think tanks in Australia. [47] Through its consultancy arm, Tasman Asia-Pacific, it advised Asia-Pacific and Eastern European countries on privatisation and deregulation, [48] [47] in what academic Damien Cahill identifies as a rare example of a think tank "that puts neo-liberal theory into practice". [47]

The Tasman Institute consulted for the Greiner government in 1991 on the privatisation of the Hunter Water Board. [47]

With the libertarian think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, and funding from Victorian employer associations, the Tasman Institute prepared "Project Victoria" which proposed a neo-liberal program for the incoming Kennett government. [47] The Tasman Institute was also awarded a government contract to consult on electricity privatisation in the state. [47] Transport Minister Alan Brown would later describe the Tasman Institute as having a "profound effect" on government policy. [47]

In 1995, the Tasman Institute and Tasman Asia-Pacific affiliated with the University of Melbourne. [47]

Mergers

In 2000, Tasman merged with the deregulation and privatisation consultancy London Economics (Australia), forming Tasman Economics. In 2002, Tasman Economics merged with ACIL Consulting, forming ACIL Tasman. [48] Tasman Institute founder Porter became the executive chair. London Economics founder and Tasman Economics CEO Nick Morris became the CEO. [49]

ACIL Tasman

ACIL Tasman merged with rival consultants Allen Consulting Group in 2013. [50]

ACIL Consulting had operated for more than two decades covering key industries of energy, natural resources, agriculture and water.[ citation needed ]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Energy policy of Australia</span>

The energy policy of Australia is subject to the regulatory and fiscal influence of all three levels of government in Australia, although only the State and Federal levels determine policy for primary industries such as coal. Federal policies for energy in Australia continue to support the coal mining and natural gas industries through subsidies for fossil fuel use and production. Australia is the 10th most coal-dependent country in the world. Coal and natural gas, along with oil-based products, are currently the primary sources of Australian energy usage and the coal industry produces over 30% of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018 Australia was the 8th highest emitter of greenhouse gases per capita in the world.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Renewable energy in Australia</span>

Renewable energy in Australia is mainly based on biomass, solar, wind, and hydro generation. Over a third of electricity is generated from renewables, and is increasing, with a target to phase out coal power before 2040. Wind energy and rooftop solar have particularly grown since 2010. The growth has been stimulated by government energy policy in order to limit the rate of climate change in Australia that has been brought about by the use of fossil fuels. Pros and cons of various types of renewable energy are being investigated, and more recently there have been trials of green hydrogen and wave power.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Energy in Victoria</span>

Energy in Victoria, Australia is generated using a number of fuels or technologies, including coal, natural gas and renewable energy sources. Brown coal, historically, was the main primary energy source for the generation of electricity in the state, accounting for about 85% of electricity generation in 2008. The amount of coal-fired power has decreased significantly with the closure in 2017 of the Hazelwood power station which supplied around 20% of Victoria's electricity, and to a lesser extent with the exit of Anglesea power station in 2015. Brown coal is one of the largest contributors to Australia's total domestic greenhouse gas emissions and a source of controversy for the country. Australia is one of the highest polluters of greenhouse gas per capita in the world.

South Australia is a leader in utility-scale renewable energy generation, and also produces gas and uranium for electricity generation. Gas production is mostly concentrated in the Cooper Basin in the state's north-east. Gas is delivered from these fields by pipeline to users interstate and to Port Adelaide where it fuels three separate gas-fired power plants. Uranium is also mined in South Australia, though nuclear power generation is prohibited nationally. The Olympic Dam mine is the world's single largest known deposit of uranium and represents 30% of the world's total uranium resource. Many utility-scale wind farms and solar farms have been commissioned during the 21st century and geology with potential for geothermal energy has also been identified but is yet to be developed.

A carbon pricing scheme in Australia was introduced by the Gillard Labor minority government in 2011 as the Clean Energy Act 2011 which came into effect on 1 July 2012. Emissions from companies subject to the scheme dropped 7% upon its introduction. As a result of being in place for such a short time, and because the then Opposition leader Tony Abbott indicated he intended to repeal "the carbon tax", regulated organizations responded rather weakly, with very few investments in emissions reductions being made. The scheme was repealed on 17 July 2014, backdated to 1 July 2014. In its place the Abbott government set up the Emission Reduction Fund in December 2014. Emissions thereafter resumed their growth evident before the tax.

The electricity sector in Australia has been historically dominated by coal-fired power stations, but renewables are forming a rapidly growing fraction of supply. In 2021, Australia's electricity production reached 265 TWh, with coal accounting for 52.9% and natural gas for 18.8%. Renewable sources, comprising solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy with waste, collectively made up 26.7% of the total electricity generation mix.

Marinus Link is a proposed 750 megawatt capacity high voltage direct current (HVDC) electricity interconnector, to strengthen the connection between the Australian states of Tasmania and Victoria, on Australia's National Electricity Market. Due to inflation, Marinus link was scaled back from an initial plan of 1500 MW via two cables, down to 750 MW via one cable. It involves approximately 250 km of subsea cables and approximately 90 km of underground land cables. Marinus Link will also incorporate significant optical fibre capacity for system control, with the remaining capacity available to strengthen telecommunications and data connectivity between the regions. Marinus Link will be supported by approximately 220 km of high voltage alternating current (HVAC) of proposed transmission developments in North West Tasmania, known as the North West Transmission Developments (NWTD). Collectively, Marinus Link and the North West Transmission Developments are known as Project Marinus. In October 2022, authorities pledged loans for the project, as well as supporting facilities such as pumped hydro in Tasmania.
