Greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector would be reduced at twice the rate proposed by the Turnbull government under a radical new plan outlined by the Australian Energy Market Operator.

The "fast change" model puts the public operator on a collision course with policymakers after AEMO outlined a potential cut of 52 per cent to all electricity emissions by 2030, double the rate required to meet our Paris climate change commitments.

The paper comes as the government-created Energy Security Board – of which AEMO's renewables-focused chief executive Audrey Zibelman is a member – is preparing to release modelling next month for the government's National Energy Guarantee aimed at shoring up reliability while curbing carbon emissions.

AEMO is majority-owned by the Commonwealth and state governments and is tasked with ensuring energy security as the country transitions to the national energy guarantee – a policy priority of the Turnbull government
