Queensland is rich in renewable energy resources - solar, geothermal, biomass, wind, hydro - and now the Queensland Government have created a raft of new actions and a broad policy platform to expand the sector and accelerate the state's economy towards a clean energy future.
By implementing the Queensland Renewable Energy Plan, the Queensland Government will grow this rapidly emerging global sector in the state.
The Plan is a bold industry development strategy that articulates the Australian Government's vision to achieve at least 20 per cent of investment generated through the national Renewable Energy Target. This will result in the generation of 9,000 gigawatt hours
(or approximately 2,500 megawatts) of Queensland based renewable energy by 2020.
The Queensland Government estimates that successful implementation of the Plan will help leverage up to $3.5 billion in new investment, create up to 3,500 jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40 million tonnes by 2020.
