Australia’s Clean Energy Boom Is Gathering Speed

Australia is reducing its dependence on coal as it transitions to renewable energy sources

Australia continues to reduce its dependence on coal as renewable energy reaches record levels of electricity generation. Investment in batteries, rooftop solar, and utility-scale renewable projects is accelerating the country's energy transition.

The Australian government aims to establish a more diverse energy mix to ensure that the country can be energy self-sufficient in the years to come while supporting a green transition.

In 2025, 42.7% of Australia's electricity generation came from renewable sources, a significant increase from 38.9% in 2024.

The battery storage industry is also taking off, with a 260% rise in home battery sales in 2025.

Australia is currently the third-largest importer of Chinese batteries after Germany and the United States.
