Wind energy is a growing part of Australia’s electricity generation portfolio. As of 2023, wind power accounted for around 12% of the nation’s total electricity supply, reflecting its contribution to the broader energy mix. The country's extensive coastlines and wind conditions have supported the development of wind farms, particularly in states such as Victoria and South Australia, which currently have the highest levels of wind energy generation. Certain states have taken more active steps toward expanding wind generation capacity. Victoria, [...]

Australia’s energy landscape has undergone significant changes, with renewable energy sources playing an increasing role in electricity generation. In 2023, renewable energy accounted for 35% of the country’s total electricity production, the highest share on record. This included contributions from solar (16%), wind (12%), and hydroelectric power (6%). The expansion of renewable energy has been influenced by investments and government policies aimed at diversifying energy sources and improving grid resilience. Wind energy has become a key component of Australia’s energy [...]

How Much of Australia’s Electricity Comes From Wind Energy?

By Patrick Dobble|2023-07-10T15:26:12+00:00December 22, 2021|Renewables, Wind Energy|Comments Off on How Much of Australia’s Electricity Comes From Wind Energy?

Over one-quarter of Australia’s electricity is generated by clean, renewable energy. 35 per cent of this comes from wind energy. Wind energy is now Australia’s big growth industry. In the last decade, it has become even more important to the country’s energy mix than coal and gas power. If large-scale wind and solar power development continues at the current rate, renewable energy could meet all of Australia's homeowners' needs at certain times of the day by 2025. This was a [...]
