Almost $30 billion has been ploughed into clean energy in the past two years as renewables now comprise almost one-fifth of Australia’s electricity generation, a News Corp Australia investigation has found.
The surging levels of investment mean more than half of South Australia’s electricity is now generated by renewable energy, along with 17 per cent in New South Wales and Victoria.
Queensland and Western Australia, which have the lowest proportion of renewable electricity generation, have 18 of the nation’s top 20 postcodes with the highest rate of rooftop solar panel installation.
Labor is vowing to make Australia “a renewable energy superpower” by ensuring that 50 per cent of the nation’s electricity is sourced from renewable energy by 2030, with measures including providing a $2000 rebate to buy and install battery systems for 100,000 households on annual incomes of less than $180,000.
