It comes as no surprise at all that Canberra has scooped up a major award for its commitment towards achieving its renewable energy target of 100 per cent by 2020.
Geoff James, a private consultant has posited a prospective undersea cable estimated between $6 and $10 billion in a bid to connect Java in Indonesia to Western Australia with the aim of exporting solar power.
Canberra’s renewable energy generation increased from an 18.8% share in 2014-15 to 20.2% in 2015-16 according to the ACT’s 2015-16 annual Feed-in Tariff (FiT) report.
The share of low carbon electricity generation in the UK’s energy mix rose to a record high of 50% in the third quarter of this year; up from 43.5 per cent in Q3, 2015.
