Transitioning to Green Energy in Australia: Challenges and Opportunities

This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to green energy in Australia, including the need to double the amount of wind and solar energy in the grid, increase storage capacity, and build more transmission infrastructure. It also emphasizes the importance of early planning for the green energy transition and compares Australia's planning strategies with other countries. Additionally, it highlights the challenges in achieving the climate change target of 82% power from renewables by 2030, focusing on the slow construction of necessary infrastructure, particularly transmission lines.
