Here in the sunburnt country, we have all the right ingredients to power up new manufacturing industries with abundant and cheap renewable energy. But some of our leaders are still clinging to the past – stalling the rollout of solar, wind and storage and derailing our chance to become a renewable manufacturing powerhouse. Together, we can demonstrate to the Prime Minister and key Ministers there’s strong community support for more local renewable energy manufacturing. Sign our petition today.

Will you sign?

I want to see the Australian and state governments work together to support more Aussie manufacturing by:
◦ Establishing Renewable Energy Industry Precincts.
◦ Rolling out Renewable Energy Zones and vital transmission infrastructure to provide abundant and cheap renewable energy to industry.
◦ Ensuring clean energy is available around the clock by investing in storage, such as community-scale and household batteries, and pumped hydro.

Main Issue of the Campaign:

Campaign Ran From: 2021 to 2024

Campaign Outcome: ,

Outcome Evidence: There is no evidence that any Renewable Energy Industry Precincts have yet been established. However, the Australian Energy Regulator stated on their current (June 2024) website that 'Renewable Energy Zones are being developed across the NEM and in some cases supported by state based regimes.' Furthermore, the Australian Energy Market Commission stated in March 2023 that 'State and federal governments are investing heavily in renewable energy and storage solutions. This includes large investments in battery facilities, such as the Waratah Super Battery in NSW, which is set to be the biggest in the southern hemisphere. There are also opportunities for commercial and industrial customers, demonstrated by plans to install and operate Australia’s largest rooftop solar installation at Moorebank Logistics Park, with 60 MW of solar power and 150 MWh of battery storage.' Given these outcomes, the campaign goals has been partially achieved. (Ascertained June 2024).
