The ‘Clean Energy Investment in Australia’ report has shown Australia’s renewable energy investment jumped by 150 per cent last year, with Australia now seventh on the world leaderboard.

Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie said it was no surprise that Australia is among the world leaders when it comes to the rollout of clean energy, with states and territory government’s leading the charge.

The report shows clean energy investment jumped significantly thanks to the Renewable Energy Target and households being desperate to take control of rising electricity prices.
