Delivering for Queensland
Delivering affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all Queenslanders.
The new Queensland Government is delivering a balanced energy plan that improves the energy assets we’ve got while we build what we need for the future.
A sensible transition means affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all Queenslanders.
By making the right choices now, we’re preventing the average Queensland household paying $1,035 a year in extra energy costs.
We’re delivering a $1.6 billion Electricity Maintenance Guarantee to improve our current energy assets.
We’re providing $400 million to drive investment in renewables, like solar, hydro, and batteries to better store the energy we generate.
The road ahead
The road to 2030 and beyond will be dynamic, reflecting the continuous evolution of the market, the needs and preferences of consumers and technological advancements.
The Roadmap outlines a pivotal role for private sector investment and partnering with Government-Owned Corporations (GOCs).
Storage is essential to firm variable renewable energy and manage minimum system load, supporting coal unit reliability.
Coal will operate to underpin affordable and reliable energy supply for as long as needed in the system and supported by the market.
Transmission will keep pace with demand growth and decentralisation of the network as new generation and storage capacity connects to the grid.
Gas has emerged as a critical technology for system reliability and firming as the generation mix changes over time.
Renewables will continue to be built in a responsible manner across the State to support demand growth.
