The renewable energy boom is well underway in Queensland, with current renewable projects on track to provide more than one-third of the state’s power consumption by 2025.

This report details how projects contracted and committed to over the last five years will produce more than 10,000 GWh of Queensland’s electricity needs — equivalent to the annual consumption of more than 2 million Queensland households.

The majority of these contracted projects are in the South-West and northern regions of the state, leaving Central Queensland, specifically the Gladstone region, slated as the next growth area for renewable energy projects. Four significant solar farms are proposed within the Gladstone Council region. These are expected to produce almost 1,000 MW, which is equivalent to the consumption of 380,000 Queensland households

This report also highlights the great potential Queensland harbours for further renewable energy growth and jobs.
