The report summarises outputs from the Future Grid Forum process. The Future Grid Forum brought together 120 representatives from across electricity, government and wider community sectors to identify potential future-state scenarios for Australia's electricity sector in 2050 and to explore opportunities, issues, barriers and options related to those scenarios. The report is underpinned by economic modelling that delivers, for each identified future scenario, long-term projections of:

• total electricity consumption and peak demand for the National Electricity Market;
• the contribution of on-site (distributed) generation;
• distribution network load factor and unit costs;
• wholesale and consumer electricity costs (including residential, commercial and industrial costs);
• total electricity system expenditure; and

• the impact of increasing electrification of the road transport sector.
