The Australian government has unveiled a detailed roadmap to achieve 82% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen confirmed significant investments in solar, wind, and battery storage projects nationwide. Australia, heavily reliant on coal for decades, is now shifting under international pressure and rising climate concerns.
Experts in South Asia, including Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan — where renewable energy projects are gaining momentum — view Australia’s policy pivot as encouraging and hope it will inspire faster green transitions across the region.
