With polluting coal-fired power stations being phased out across the globe, Aussie households are increasingly turning to renewables like rooftop solar for reliable, clean and affordable electricity to power their homes. Queensland leads the nation in the uptake of household solar.
Average power bills in Queensland would have been $400 more expensive in 2023 without rooftop solar and large-scale renewable energy providing affordable energy to the grid, and if new renewable energy projects are delayed from coming online, wholesale electricity prices could be 36% higher.
Queensland industries are also investing heavily in renewable energy to power their operations, allowing them to remain competitive in global markets with sustainable supply chains in mining, refining and manufacturing.
Opposition Leader David Crisafulli and the LNP need to be upfront and clear with Queenslanders before the election and release details about their plans for Queensland's future energy mix, outlining how they will meet their climate pollution reduction commitments to keep Queenslanders safe, and provide certainty for business and investors.
