The declining cost of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, wind power and battery storage, means it is unlikely a new coal-fired power station will ever be built in Australia. [2] The Liddell Power Station is the latest major coal-fired power station to be decommissioned, which took place on 28 April 2023. [3]
The continued expansion of coal mines comes even as Australia pushes to host the Cop31 climate summit in 2026 on behalf of the island nations. ... No new coal means no excuses. if Australia ...

In 2021, Australia generated a total of 265 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. The breakdown of the electricity generation mix was as follows: coal at 52.9%, natural gas at 18.8%, solar at 10.5%, wind at 9.3%, hydro at 5.6%, oil at 1.8%, and bioenergy and waste at 1.3%. Electricity consumption for the year was 239 TWh, with the industry ...
New Zealand's energy policy sets targets to achieve 90% renewable electricity generation by 2025, with an aspiration to reach 100% by 2030. This is further supported by the Emissions Reduction Plan, which aims for 50% of the country's total final energy consumption (TFEC) to be sourced from renewables by 2035, encouraging widespread ...
Coal is mined in every state of Australia. It provides about 85% of Australia's electricity production and is Australia's largest export commodity. [22] 75% of the coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to eastern Asia. In 2005, Australia was the largest coal exporter in the world with 231 million tonnes of hard coal. [23]
Graph of New Zealand electricity generation capacity by year. This is a list of power stations in New Zealand. The list is not exhaustive – only power stations over 0.5 MW and significant power stations below 0.5 MW are listed. Power plants in New Zealand have different generating roles – for baseload, intermediate or peaking.
White Cliffs Solar Power Station, Australia's first solar power station operated between 1981 and 2004. Renewable energy in Australia is mainly based on biomass, solar, wind, and hydro generation. Over a third of electricity is generated from renewables, and is increasing, with a target to phase out coal power before 2040. [1]
