  • In short: A meltdown in the NSW electricity market has prompted warnings that Australia's energy transition is off course.
  • Sustained extraordinary costs earlier in the month forced the market operator to step in and cap prices in NSW.
  • What's next? A huge NSW coal plant will be kept online longer but there are worries about a shortage of new capacity.
