Large-scale renewable energy development is a cornerstone of Australia’s strategy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and achieve a sustainable energy future, contributing to energy security, economic growth and environmental goals. Large-scale projects also provide:
- Economies of scale, making renewable energy more cost-competitive.
- Grid stability, contributing significantly to the stability and reliability of the electricity grid by providing large quantities of clean energy.
The Queensland Government Department of Energy and Climate provides further information on why we are transitioning to renewable energy and the relevant elements of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan.
