Australia: Canberra''s journey to 100% renewables
Australia is a fossil fuel giant, yet its capital is a global clean energy pioneer. As coal and gas investment was banished in favor of wind and solar, cheaper electricity bills followed.

The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid, help the ACT grow its renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the Territory.
“As we electrify Canberra and phase out fossil gas, and as Canberra’s population grows, we will need additional electricity supply. The Berrybank wind farm will boost our renewable electricity supply and help power an all-electric Canberra.
Mr Rattenbury said as Canberra grew, it would need more electricity as gas was phased out. “The Berrybank wind farm will boost our renewable electricity supply and help power an all-electric Canberra,” he said.
Yet the capital city he stood in was almost 100% powered by wind and the sun. This goal was reached in 2020 when the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) — home to the nation's half a million-strong capital, Canberra — had enough renewable electricity to make coal and gas obsolete.
