Future Energy
Australia is undergoing an energy revolution. The transition to renewable power and our commitment to slash greenhouse gas emissions is underway but under pressure. Our demand for electricity keeps growing but the move to a broader range of energy sources to power homes, transport, and businesses is facing strong economic headwinds.
