Investment map shows Commonwealth projects powering Australia’s energy transition
The Net Zero Economy Authority has launched a new, interactive investment map showing over 800 Commonwealth Government-supported renewable energy and research projects.
For the first time, workers, communities and investors can see in one place the range of projects backed by private investors and the government, taking shape across Australia’s cities and regions.
Developed in partnership with RenewMap, the Net Zero Investment Map shows:
- where projects are located
- their status and operation
- government support
- estimated number of jobs
- total investment associated with the project (where available)
- expected power generation.
The map also shows power stations and their announced closure dates as well as contextual data like transmission lines and renewable energy zones.
Net Zero Economy Authority CEO David Shankey says that this is the first time net zero investments under a range of Commonwealth schemes have been brought together in the one place, providing communities, industry and investors with clearer, consolidated information on the energy transformation.
‘The Net Zero Investment Map highlights how Australia’s transition to a net zero emissions economy is already underway, with new investment, jobs and opportunities across the country.
‘The Net Zero Economy Authority helps coordinate Australia’s transition to net zero with clear, accessible information for communities, business and government. The Net Zero Investment Map is one of the tools that can help us do that,’ said Mr Shankey.
RenewMap Director Alex Thompson welcomed the partnership and collaboration with industry, noting the impact of bringing these datasets together.
‘Australia has an extraordinary transformation ahead. By consolidating these projects into a single, interactive platform, the Net Zero Investment Map helps Australians understand the broad spectrum of Commonwealth investment across net zero research and renewable energy projects,’ he said.
The Net Zero Investment Map does not cover all Commonwealth projects. However, the Net Zero Economy Authority will continue to work across Commonwealth and state government agencies and investment schemes to regularly update the map.
