Chris Uhlmann on the financial impact of Australia’s net zero goals in this Sky News special.

Sky News Australia has revealed its latest documentary, The Real Cost of Net Zero, set to premiere on Tuesday, 19 November at 8.00pm AEDT.

Led by award-winning journalist and Sky News Political Contributor Chris Uhlmann, the program promises an in-depth examination of Australia’s ambitious renewable energy targets, questioning the financial and social impacts of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

The documentary arrives amid heightened scrutiny of Australia’s energy transition goals, especially following a recent acknowledgment by the national energy regulator that it cannot ensure the Albanese Labor Government’s renewable energy strategy will meet its promise of lowering power prices.

The hour-long feature will present expert insights from local and international voices in renewable energy, as Uhlmann investigates the full scope of financial and structural demands required to reach 82 per cent renewable electricity by 2030.

In a statement, Uhlmann outlined the practical challenges associated with integrating more renewable sources into Australia’s power grid, highlighting the economic repercussions on industries and consumers.

“The wind and sun might come free but turning it into electricity doesn’t. In The Real Cost of Net Zero we will show why putting more weather-dependent generation on the grid will add up to higher power prices, and less reliability of supply.

The march to net zero will come at a real cost, to industry and households, and it looks like the poor will be hardest hit. This is not an ideological position, but a fact-based conclusion based on science and economics,”

With a journalism career spanning over three decades, Uhlmann brings considerable expertise to the investigation. Prior to joining Sky News in early 2023, he served as Political Editor for the Nine Network, and previously spent 20 years at the ABC, including a tenure as Political Editor where he reported for the national broadcaster’s ABC News and 7.30 programs.

The Real Cost of Net Zero will debut on Sky News Australia on 19 November at 8.00pm AEDT.

  1. This looks brilliant, will blow old Casanova Bowen and his “Hold Australia back” Labor renewables Policy out of the water.
