Leveraging Australia’s position as a leader in renewable energy technology, from solar and wind to emerging technologies like hydrogen.
Solar and Wind Power: Australia has seen significant growth in solar installations, both large-scale and residential, making it one of the leaders in per capita solar capacity. Wind energy also plays a substantial role, with several large projects contributing to the grid.
Australia is enhancing its energy infrastructure through projects like Snowy Hydro 2.0 for energy storage and the Rewiring the Nation initiative for transmission, alongside promoting distributed energy resources like home batteries.
The National Electric Vehicle Strategy promotes EV adoption to reduce emissions and enhance Australians’ wellbeing. Additionally, the Australian Government’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by generating an extra 33,000 GWh of renewable electricity annually from 2020 to 2030.
