Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Bill 2023
This bill establishes Queensland's legal framework for transforming its electricity system to renewable energy. It sets legislated targets for 50% renewable energy by 2030, 70% by 2032, and 80% by 2035, creates frameworks to build transmission infrastructure and Renewable Energy Zones, and guarantees job security for workers in coal-fired power stations.
Energy Roadmap Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes major changes to Queensland's energy policy by repealing legislated renewable energy targets and shifting to a 'market-driven' approach. It renames the Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Act to the Energy (Infrastructure Facilitation) Act, abolishes three statutory advisory bodies, changes public ownership rules, and creates a new framework for the CopperString transmission project connecting North and North West Queensland to the national grid.
