North West Queensland

Energy Roadmap Amendment Bill 2025

This bill reshapes Queensland's energy legislation by repealing renewable energy targets, renaming the Act to the Energy (Infrastructure Facilitation) Act 2024, and shifting planning towards a market-driven approach focused on affordable, reliable and sustainable energy. It creates a new legislative framework for the CopperString transmission project to connect North and North West Queensland to the national electricity grid, and strengthens public ownership provisions for existing government-owned power assets.
