Regional Energy Hubs (formerly Renewable Energy Zones)

Energy Roadmap Amendment Bill 2025

This bill rewrites Queensland's energy planning laws by repealing renewable energy targets and replacing them with a flexible, market-driven approach focused on affordability, reliability and sustainability. It renames the Act from the Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Act 2024 to the Energy (Infrastructure Facilitation) Act 2024, streamlines transmission investment processes, creates a framework to deliver the CopperString project connecting North and North West Queensland to the national grid, and abolishes three statutory advisory bodies.
