Clean energy means more jobs and economic growth
With some of the world’s best solar, wind and mineral resources, Australia has all the ingredients to power our homes and economy for generations to come.
To seize our nation’s biggest financial opportunity, we need the Federal Government to set strong climate targets. That will support the growth of cleaner industries.
By harnessing our rich onshore resources and growing our manufacturing capabilities, we can future-proof jobs for all Australians.
Get behind our clean energy workforce
Local businesses and workers across Australia are already paving the path to a stronger financial future.
From Holden to 5B solar
“When the Holden factory shut down, we lost a lot of local jobs. But then a new solar manufacturing plant opened its doors, and I found myself using my skills in an exciting new role.”
— Chris, Adelaide
Renewables are powering South Australia
“In South Australia, we’re already running on 75% wind and solar. We’re leading the world. My mission is to keep improving our energy system, so that it’s even cleaner, more reliable and more affordable for everyone.”
— Michelle, Adelaide
How bushfires sparked a career change
“I wasn’t really into climate action. Then our family farm got smashed in the horrendous 2019 bushfires. It was a slap in the face, a wake-up call. I decided to use my experience in heavy industries to make them more sustainable.”
— Trent, Newcastle
Renewables keep farmers farming
“Climate change is hurting farmers’ profits while renewables are helping us lower our energy costs. Our power bills are down nearly 70 percent since we went to solar and battery on the farm. With renewable energy, there’s hope and opportunity to keep farmers in small towns like mine alive and thriving.”
— Sophie, Singleton
From coal to clean tech
“I started out working in the coal mines, which set me up well to pursue my current path. Now I’m manufacturing Australian-made batteries designed for our hot climate and with security, recycling and second-life use in mind.”
— Nathan, Lake Macquarie
