Qld Energy Plan must go beyond 50% renewables
I’m one of your local constituents and I’m very concerned that Queensland’s 50% by 2030 Renewable Energy Target falls short of what’s required to stimulate future-proof regional jobs while adequately acting on climate change. Queenslanders are already dealing with more frequent extreme weather events, like fires and floods, and it’s hurting our communities. Right now the Queensland Government is developing a 10-Year Energy Plan – this is the Sunshine State’s opportunity to step up and plan for entirely repowering our grid with clean energy. By 2030, Tasmania, South Australia and the ACT will all be 100% renewable and New South Wales and Victoria won’t be far behind. What the Queensland Government does next will decide if the Sunshine State keeps up with the pack or falls behind and misses out on investment and new clean manufacturing opportunities. A new report from Solar Citizens and the Queensland Conservation Council shows that Queensland’s accelerating renewable energy pipeline is on track to supply 50% of the State’s electricity demand by 2025, five years ahead of the State Government’s target. This shows us it’s time to aim higher. As my representative, I’m calling on you to be a champion for clean energy and support repowering Queensland’s entire electricity system with affordable renewable energy by 2030. Please support an ambitious 10-Year Energy Plan.
