The document discusses the Australian Renewable Energy Mapping Infrastructure (AREMI) project. AREMI aims to (1) inform investment decisions in energy infrastructure to increase sector productivity, (2) increase public and private renewable energy investments by reducing pre-competitive planning costs and time, and (3) create opportunities for public and private sectors to develop and share analytics services. The AREMI system is designed as a one-stop shop to host legacy renewable energy datasets and allow additional datasets to be added.
