Investing in Queensland's renewable energy supply chain
Queensland has many renewable energy resources including solar, wind and geothermal. With recent growth in the industry, Queensland is becoming Australia's premier location for renewable energy manufacturing and generation.
The Queensland Government has demonstrated its support for the renewable energy sector by setting renewable energy targets and introducing incentive programs to help grow the industry. There are many projects underway in Queensland, making now a good time to invest in our renewable energy industry.
Queensland's renewable energy sector is experiencing significant growth - boosting employment and regional development. Between 2008 and 2010, Queensland's total renewable energy generation capacity increased by around 17% (from 745 to 871 megawatts).
Queensland has one of the world's highest levels of solar exposure, with an average of 20 megajoules per square metre, making it the ideal location for solar energy generation. Queensland also has vast resources of hot rocks and underground hot water basins used in the creation of geothermal power.
