Renewable power percentage | Clean Energy Regulator
Under the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target, liable entities surrender large-scale generation certificates (LGC) to meet the annual target of renewable electricity each year. The annual target increased each year until 2020 and is now constant at 33,000,000 megawatt hours (MWh) until 2030.
State of total renewables | Clean Energy Regulator
Investment in renewables is supported by the Renewable Energy Target (RET) through large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) and small-scale technology certificates (STCs). Since 1 January 2020, 12 GW of rooftop solar capacity has been installed. Storage is key to maximising Australia''s renewable output.
