Queensland's Clean Energy Future
Established in October 2008, the Office of Clean Energy is a 'one stop shop' providing policy and program support. The Office assists companies by helping to fast track eligible clean energy projects. It oversees integration of renewable energy, energy efficiency and demand management related projects across Queensland.
The Office of Clean Energy contributes to the state government's Q2 vision to reduce Queenslander's carbon footprint by one-third by 2020. Through the Q2 vision and the Queensland Renewable Energy Plan, the Queensland Government is actively pursuing development of clean energy sources. This wil help ensure Queensland plays its part to achieve the national target of a 60 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Queensland Solar Hot Water Program
It's never been easier or more affordable for Queenslanders to switch to solar and save with the Queensland Solar Hot Water Program. There has been an extremely positive response to be a part of the program, which offers households energy savings and cuts in harmful greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 per cent.
Queensland Renewable Energy Plan
The Queensland Renewable Energy Plan is a comprehensive economic and industry development strategy aimed at accelerating the growth of the renewable energy sector in Queensland. The successful implementation of the Plan will help leverage up to $3.5 billion in new investment, create up to 3,500 new jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme pays households and other small customers for the surplus electricity generated from roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems that is exported to the Queensland electricity grid. The scheme is designed to make solar power more affordable for Queenslanders, stimulate the solar power industry and encourage energy efficiency.
