Very interesting. How can government be persuaded to implement the model you have suggested which makes sense to me and gets the private sector to pay for much of the infrastructure.
The same model could be adapted to the road and rail sectors.
My first post uni job in 1990 was about expanding gas production in Australia as a transition fuel before renewables proper would kick in. I think over 36 years is more than enough to be considering gas a transition fuel. We are now past that point and we just need to say no to any new fossil fuel demand. There is already too much CO2 in the atmosphere whose effects are causing lots of problems.
Great write up on the problems and always appreciative of multiple potential solutions! Either of those two options would be great, the auction idea seems particularly lucrative!
This seems extremely difficult to evaluate in the abstract. While I can see that a new large user such as a data centre enables a lot of the network to be used more - thus spreading the fixed cost, and this may be more than the impact on moving us up the wholesale supply curve- presumably it only takes one ‘expensive to fix’ peak bottleneck to take it the other way.

NO! COMMUNITY and INDIVIDUAL microgrids are THE BEST POLICY.
