Australia's Renewables Capacity

Australia's renewables capacity: how much can the country make?

Australia has pledged to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. This promise relates to the sheer capability of making renewable energy (as opposed to using it via transmission and distribution).
Energy capacity is measured in gigawatts (GW). This data group tracks Australia's renewable energy capacity. OnlyFacts calculates the target is 147 GW by 2030.
