Australia is going through a massive energy transition as we move towards a clean energy system. Take a look at some of the key issues related to this transition and the opportunities, challenges and impacts these present.
A skilled workforce is a crucial component to Australia’s energy transformation. Workforce development forms a key area of our policy and advocacy work in order to lay the foundations for a strong and secure renewable energy workforce.
Positive community engagement is vital for the success of any development, and clean energy projects are no exception. Find out about the work underway in the industry to ensure developers continue to adopt best practices.
Australia's Renewable Energy Target has been instrumental in driving the take up of renewable energy in Australia. The policy is designed to ensure that at least 33,000 gigawatt-hours of Australia's electricity comes from renewable sources by 2020.
