22.01.2022 Funding cuts and wind and solar energy to miss out. Clean energy agency pivots to dirty energy. Solar panels and wind farms are now clearly commercially viable and have graduated from the need for government subsidies, says Scott Morrison. So, we guess coal and gas aren’t commercially viable and haven’t graduated yet?
22.01.2022 I’m not here to support vested interests. I’m here to support the community interest. NSW energy minister Matt Kean defends state plan to support renewables and new jobs amid lack of any federal plan.
22.01.2022 Thank you to the NSW Government, the Opposition and The Greens for committing to make NSW a renewable energy superpower. Renewables backed by storage is the cheapest form of reliable generation, and the cleanest. This plan will create 9,000 direct jobs and $32b of investment in clean, renewable power for NSW.
21.01.2022 Well this is big news from the West. Western Australian government puts out call for 1.5GW wind and solar hub to power green hydrogen and manufacturing.
21.01.2022 Complaints against wind farms continue to dwindle as health scare campaigns fail and the economic and environmental benefits to local communities increase.
21.01.2022 Jobs on the line, and the economy and planet in peril. The VRET has been an amazing vehicle to drive investment in renewables, but further action is needed to ensure the construction continues and new jobs are created for regional Victorians.
20.01.2022 Dirty Energy Finance Corp: government clean energy investment vehicle being corrupted to funnel taxpayer money into gas projects. Minister Angus Taylor is trying to amend Australia's green bank from a profit-making investor in renewables to a loss making underwriter of fossil fuel projects.
19.01.2022 Coal in trouble as ambitious NSW energy and jobs plan leads to huge investment in renewables. Australia needs a nationwide plan to help coal workers and communities transition to a new economy powered by clean energy.
19.01.2022 With no renewable energy industry representation, no climate targets and a focus on failed carbon capture and storage, Angus Taylor’s Technology Roadmap only leads to a dirty cul-de-sac. We need a plan with a proper focus on clean energy, on emissions reduction and with ambitious climate targets. We need a destination. We need NET ZERO BY 2050!
18.01.2022 Interesting. Very interesting. Oil and gas exploration company looks to offshore wind farm proposal in Western Australia to diversify its portfolio. This could be a complete game changer for renewables and clean energy in WA.
17.01.2022 Even better for the environment! European consortium looks to build world’s first fully recyclable wind turbine blade.
17.01.2022 Hornsdale big battery, connected to the Hornsdale wind farm, saves big dollars for consumers, and keeps the lights on.
17.01.2022 Great news for regional jobs, economic development and climate action The Vic Govt is investing $1.6 billion to create thousands of jobs, reduce carbon emissions and lower power bills for Victorians. - Open up 6 Renewable Energy Zones around the state, - Power ahead with a second renewable energy auction to run schools on renewables - Invest in innovative technology like offshore wind and hydrogen. Let’s get to work!
15.01.2022 ACT secures low, low prices for wind power + two big batteries. Why would anyone invest in fossil fuels when renewables offer these kinds of deals?
15.01.2022 Hundreds of jobs created. Thousands of people involved. Millions of dollars invested in local communities. Wind power is delivering for regional towns, for farmers, for the climate and for future generations.
15.01.2022 Big influx of renewables sees coal power plants at increased risk of closure. Great news! But we need a plan to transition coal workers into new industries and prepare them for the clean energy reality we all now live in.
14.01.2022 A dramatic drop in renewables investment in Victoria is expected to cost local manufacturing and construction jobs. We urge the Victorian Government to announce and deliver an expedited series of three new reverse auctions that proceed as soon as possible. These auctions should support at least 1,000 MW of large-scale wind and solar projects, spread evenly across three auctions, over the next 18 months.
14.01.2022 Bottom line, the whole wind turbine can be 100 per cent manufactured in WA. Big potential for local clean energy manufacturing across Australia if the right policies are in place to fight climate change and support renewable energy jobs.
13.01.2022 Renewable energy equivalent to four large coal plants will be installed this year but lack of investment could put a brake on further growth. Australia is a world leader in renewables but investment is falling and jobs are at risk as Angus Taylor and the federal government push for a dirty fossil fuel recovery.
13.01.2022 Energy democracy - genuine community engagement and ownership - is so important for Australia’s transition to a clean energy future. "One clearly innovative aspect of Forest Wind is the requirement for an Indigenous Land Use Agreement, which provides negotiation rights for titleholders and compensation."
13.01.2022 Let’s be clear. A gas-led recovery is all about recovering the share price of oil and gas companies. If the Federal government actually cared about reliability, lower electricity prices & emissions, they would be fully behind a clean energy recovery led by renewables and storage.
12.01.2022 Now this is real leadership on climate, clean energy and a green recovery. Victorian government announces funding boost for renewables with call for 600MW of new projects.
12.01.2022 Technology not taxes? Australians taxed $18 billion to support the Australian government’s hand-picked technologies. And we thought ideology was a bad thing?
11.01.2022 Australian Industry Group calls for new investment in renewable energy from government and a focus on addressing the growing threat of climate change.
11.01.2022 Upgrading WA to 90% renewables by 2030 will create thousands of new jobs and generate huge economic benefits. The future isn’t gas, it’s renewables and storage.
11.01.2022 Power to the people: wind farms need to not only create clean energy, they need to create ongoing direct benefits for the communities they are located in. That’s why we support community-owned energy and long term community benefit schemes.
11.01.2022 ‘Simply embarrassing' Morrison government has no policies to expand renewable energy, phase out coal or fossil fuel cars, decarbonise heavy-duty vehicles, change the nature of public or freight transport, retrofit buildings or reduce deforestation.
10.01.2022 Angus Taylor’s gas plan is a really bad, no good, expensive idea. It’s not needed. It’s expensive energy.... It kills competition. It’s bad politics. The opportunity cost is huge.
10.01.2022 Good News! Another Victorian wind farm set to be built. That’s more jobs, more investment and more benefits for regional communities. Not to mention the climate benefits.
10.01.2022 Australian state governments leading on clean energy and jobs. Great news from Queensland as renewables take centre stage in a green recovery.
09.01.2022 Western Australia could become a hub for wind turbine manufacturing after state government commits $485,000 towards a feasibility study.
09.01.2022 What makes business and economic sense is also the cleanest option. Push for green-driven COVID 19 economic recovery.
09.01.2022 Thousands of jobs at risk, billions of dollars in investment lost as Angus Taylor puts the brakes on Australia’s clean energy transition.
09.01.2022 Great news! Community-owned wind farm, Hepburn Wind to add solar power to wind power.
08.01.2022 Coalition gas plan would help fewer than 1% of manufacturing workers. Meanwhile, a renewables-led recovery would create whole new manufacturing industries and support thousands of new jobs.
08.01.2022 Local manufacturing, local jobs, local economic development. Wind power is delivering for local communities across Australia. The first turbine components for the Mortlake South Wind Farm have arrived and are almost ready to be assembled! The towers are manufactured in and have started arriving from Haywards Steel in Tasmania.
07.01.2022 See what happens when it’s not all about fossil fuels: Business groups and unions join forces to unveil green nation building plan to tackle climate change.
07.01.2022 In a show of leadership, Victoria seeks 600MW of new #wind and #solar to power hospitals, schools and public transport.
07.01.2022 Angus Taylor and the federal government are looking increasingly isolated and out of touch on fossil fuels and climate.
07.01.2022 Now is the perfect time to power ahead with clean energy. The Victorian government is showing real leadership and supporting another 600MW of new renewables to power schools, hospitals and trains. The announcement of a second Victorian Renewable Energy Target Auction is welcomed. A new VRET auction series will work as both a Covid-19 stimulus measure and a smart way to drive jobs and investment in these trying times. https://www.windalliance.org.au/victoria_takes_leadership_w
06.01.2022 Congrats to Tasmania. Because of new wind coming online, Tasmania is now powered 100% by renewable energy!
06.01.2022 Coal burning steam power hits new low as modern wind and solar reshapes the Australian grid.
06.01.2022 How the tables have turned. Australian government admits failing fossil fuels now need government subsidies as cheap renewables stand on their own feet.
05.01.2022 We've made a strategic decision from a banking perspective to tilt our business towards renewables. Former furniture salesman questions why multi billion dollar business is divesting from coal.
05.01.2022 We're big fans of making NSW into a renewable energy superpower and we're happy to show it. Today we joined with over 30 other organisations to thank the NSW Government, Opposition and crossbench for their commitment to make NSW a Renewable Energy Superpower with a full-page ad in the Daily Telegraph. Show your support for making NSW a clean energy powerhouse at http://thanksnsw.com/
04.01.2022 Nationals leader is given a lesson on the reality facing the coal industry. We need a plan to diversify regional economies and support communities in this inevitable transition.
03.01.2022 The best combined wind and solar resource in Australia. Massive wind + solar renewable hydrogen project in WA gets boost as Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners come on board.
02.01.2022 Now is the perfect time to shift the Australian economy away from fossil fuels and embrace clean, job creating renewables.
02.01.2022 A future beyond coal for the NSW Hunter Valley as renewables promise thousands of jobs and a manufacturing boom.
02.01.2022 Old turbines can become new turbines and significantly increase power output.
01.01.2022 When you’ve got a coal baron, Mark Latham, Matt Canavan, Angus Taylor and two multi-billion dollar energy companies against something, you know it has got to be good.
01.01.2022 Australian wind power drives record month for renewables in August. Meanwhile, the best performing wind farms are from NSW and in Angus Taylor’s electorate, with capacity factors over 50%.
01.01.2022 It would take an infinite number of wind turbines to produce all the things a coal power station produces. CO2 Coal ash Sulphur dioxide... Nitrous oxide PM2.5 and PM10 particulates Mercury ... wind power really has no chance of producing all these things that coal produces.
