What’s missing from the CSIRO’s latest GenCost draft | Zoe Hilton

The CSIRO just dropped a new draft of their annual GenCost report which claims renewables once again have the lowest cost range of any new electricity generation source. But does the CSIRO’s latest analysis of nuclear and renewables hold up to scrutiny? In this video, we do a deep-dive into the 2024-25 GenCost report. We show you how the CSIRO still hasn’t fixed their nuclear analysis and take you through their incredibly opaque and at times self-contradictory cost estimates for renewables. Checking GenCost’s modelling is tricky given the CSIRO have not released all their data and assumptions. Watch until the end to find out why.



Science, where the data is withheld, is not science, it's propaganda or politics. Any claims thus made cannot be believed.
