Connecting Renewables
A Gillard Labor Government will invest $1 billion over the next decade in our electricity networks to connect Australia’s rich but remote renewable resources to Australian homes.
The Connecting Renewables initiative will transform our energy grids by bringing more renewable energy into Australian households and businesses sooner.
This initiative will develop secure, sustainable and affordable energy for the future, supporting the enhanced Renewable Energy Target and helping deliver the Government’s commitment to 20 per cent of Australia’s electricity supply coming from renewable sources by 2020.
Federal Labor will also invest $100 million over four years in a new Renewable Energy Venture Capital Fund.
These new initiatives build on Federal Labor's record investments in solar power and other renewables to help transition Australia to a low pollution economy.
