In an important world first , Australia's Official Chief Scientist will tomorrow recommend to the National Government that the Country move from coal fired electricity to a system that would define clean energy as  " no more than 700 kilograms of carbon per megawatt. That would allow for wind, solar, gas and nuclear — it could potentially include coal-fired power stations equipped with carbon capture and storage technology." 

But most significantly the report will call require coal fired power stations to give 3 to 5 years notice of their intention to close, and therefor provide " transition " opportunities to local communities . 

It would potentially exclude such actions as those recently taken by by global energy giant "Engie" to close a coal fired power station " Hazellwood" within 6 months of notice to close, as has recently happened in the State of Victoria (according to the article at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-08/finkel-report-calls-for-new-clean-energy-target/8601844  )  

According to the article, the reports author will also, call to " recommend a bigger focus on energy storage, in batteries and pumped hydro, and the Government may mandate this for future wind and solar farms ".
