A new Clean Energy Council report released today reveals that Q1 2024 showed positive signs of a recovery and the best quarter for financial commitments for large-scale renewable energy generation since the end of 2022. It also showed another very strong quarter of new financial commitments for large-scale energy storage projects.
The peak body for Australia’s renewable energy sector today released its Renewable Projects Quarterly Report for Q1 2024, which has found:
“These results are an encouraging sign that Australia’s clean energy transformation is moving in a positive direction and on the road to recovery,” Clean Energy Council Chief Executive, Kane Thornton said.
“Landmark commitments made by the Federal Government in recent months have been designed to build certainty for renewable energy investors, which we expect will drive a resurgence for the large-scale generation we need.
“Investment in large-scale storage continues to be very strong, following a record year in 2023. It is abundantly clear that renewables firmed by storage are the future of Australia’s energy system and investors have a strong appetite for new energy storage projects.”
