The Miles Government is investing in cleaner energy and creating jobs for a sustainable and affordable energy future. 

Queensland is well-placed to be a strong renewables, hydrogen and manufacturing powerhouse with an abundance of sunshine, wind and mineral rich ground. A highly skilled workforce across our regional centres and infrastructure, ports and industrial land, all put Queensland in a position to lead the way on green hydrogen, renewable energy generation and manufacturing renewable energy components.

The Miles Government has delivered Queensland's Energy & Jobs Plan, which sets out our pathway to a cheaper, cleaner and reliable energy system to ensure our Government delivers 50% renewable energy by 2030, 70% by 2032 and 80% by 2035. Our Energy Plan will benefit Queensland communities, workers and our economy. The plan will support the development of a hydrogen economy in Queensland and position our state as a powerhouse in the global supply chain for green hydrogen. Our integrated approach includes investing in initiatives and training to help stimulate the development of a hydrogen sector and future hydrogen jobs that will come with it. Our Government is committed to maintaining public ownership of our energy assets, whilst positioning Queensland as as investment destination, maximising local content and job opportunities.

How the Electricity Market operates

Queensland is part of the National Electricity Market (NEM) which operates on one of the world's longest interconnected power systems across the East Coast of Australia, including South Australia and Tasmania.  The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) manages the NEM, as well as the electricity retail market to help ensure that we maintain a well-supplied, safe and affordable electricity network.
