Renewable energy in Australia is based mainly on biomass, solar, wind, and hydro generation technologies. Over a third of all electricity generated in Australia is renewable energy, a proportion that is increasing in line with global trends, with a target to phase out coal power before 2040. [1]
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is an independent agency of the Australian federal government, established in 2012 to manage Australia's renewable energy programs, with the objective of increasing supply and competitiveness of Australian renewable energy sources.
The Asian Renewable Energy Hub was first proposed in 2014, with plans for the project concept changing several times since then. The project initially aimed to supply power via an undersea power cable (to Indonesia and perhaps on to Singapore [1]) with a capacity of 15 gigawatts (GW), [2] using four cables, each 3,000 km (1,900 mi) long.

Renewable energy has potential in Australia, and the Climate Change Authority is reviewing the 20-percent Renewable Energy Target (RET). The production of 50 megawatts of wind power (power for nearly 21,000 homes annually) creates about 50 construction jobs and five staff positions. [36] [37] In recent years, wind and solar power have been the ...
Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) are areas designated by the Australian government for large-scale deployment of renewable energy infrastructure. The goal of REZs is to co-locate renewable energy infrastructure and investment within Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM), reducing the overall costs of electricity generation and transmission .
It's not quite yet a flood but Australian resource companies are increasingly embracing renewable energies into their mining and natural gas operations even in the face of a federal government ...
Renewable hydrogen can enable the deep decarbonisation of difficult to abate sectors of the economy, particularly in transport and industry, while accelerating the contribution of renewable energy and contributing to energy efficiency. Australia has the potential to be a global hydrogen leader, potentially exporting hydrogen as well as using it ...
After the 2002 South Australian state election, the Australian Labor Party formed a government under new premier Mike Rann.The Rann government outlined a plan to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, targeting that 15% of electricity would come from renewables by 2014, and 26% by 2020 (this compares with the federally legislated target at the time of 2% by 2020).
