Introduction

Energy Insiders is a weekly update on clean energy and climate policy, with Renew Economies editor Jarls Parkinson. Leading energy analyst David Leach joins us this week to talk about Queensland's potential for decarbonisation in Australia. The state has had a 50% renewable target by 2030 but now plans to upgrade back to 70% by 2032 and 80% by 2035. It remains the state with probably the biggest proportion of coal in its generation of any state.
