States and territories are the driving force behind
Australia’s transition to clean, affordable and efficient renewable energy and
storage technology, our new report has found.

The ‘Renewables Ready: States Leading the Charge,’ report shows South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory are all leading the renewables race, while the Federal Government remains stuck at the starting
block.

KEY FINDINGS:

• In the absence of national energy and climate policy, all
  states and territories (except Western Australia) now have strong renewable energy targets and/or net zero emissions targets in place.
• State and territory targets and announced coal closures are
  expected to deliver Australia’s 2030 emissions reduction target of 26-28%
  reduction on 2005 levels.
• TAS, SA and the ACT continue to lead on percentage renewable electricity, and have the most renewable energy capacity
  per capita (excluding large-hydro).
• NSW and QLD are set for a dramatic increase in renewable
  energy with the greatest capacity and number (respectively) of projects under
  construction in 2017.
• Households in QLD, SA and WA continue to lead in the
  proportion of homes with rooftop solar.
• SA is building the world’s largest lithium ion battery storage facility.
