Renewable Projects Quarterly Report (Q3 2023)

It's been a difficult year so far for investment in large-scale clean energy projects, and Q3 2023 unfortunately continues that trend. Just two new projects – totalling 161 MW of capacity – achieved financial commitment in the period.

Submission on the New South Wales vocational education and training review

The Clean Energy Council and the Australian Hydrogen Council welcome the opportunity to make a joint submission in response to the NSW VET Review Discussion Paper

NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme: Rule Change 2

The Clean Energy Council and its members are strongly supportive of the NSW Government’s focus on demand response and demand shifting mechanisms to reduce demand during peak periods. The greatest opportunities to enhance the energy transition reside in the demand-side of the market, and the CEC and its Members commend the important work the NSW Office of Energy and Climate Change are doing. By improving our energy performance (including demand response, load shifting and energy efficiency), we can make the energy transition faster, cheaper, smoother and more reliable.

Response to the Future Gas Strategy consultation paper

With fossil-fuel based gas playing a significant role today in today’s energy mix and exports, and its extraction and use accounting for just over one-fifth of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, we need a clear national strategy for the systematic phasing down and phasing out of fossil-fuel gas extraction, consumption and exports.

Submission in response to the Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin Approach Paper

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Australian Government’s Approach Paper on renewable electricity certification as part of the Guarantee of Origin Framework for Australia.

Decarbonisation commitments are gathering pace globally, and there is increasing demand for green and low-emissions products. The proposed Guarantee of Origin framework represents a landmark policy proposal, which will provide Australia with an essential mechanism to be able to demonstrate the environmental credentials of the products we produce, for both domestic and international consumption. This submission focuses on the design and implementation of a proposed Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin (REGO), which would be a subset of the overall guarantee of origin architecture.

Clean Energy Council - Security frameworks review

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) is the peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia, representing over 1,000 of the leading businesses operating in renewable energy, energy storage, and renewable hydrogen. The CEC is committed to accelerating the decarbonisation of Australia’s energy system as rapidly as possible while maintaining a secure and reliable supply of electricity for customers.

Bridging the gap to 82% renewable electricity generation by 2030

The Clean Energy Council commissioned this Green Energy Markets report to outline the scale of the commitments and build that Australia needs in order to meet its 82 per cent renewable energy target by 2030.
