Power bills set to rise 9.2% in regional Queensland as report finds the state is paying the price for delays to renewable energy projects

Analysis by the Queensland Conservation Council said power prices in regional areas would have decreased by 25% had two major windfarms currently under development – the Wambo and MacIntyre projects – been built more quickly.

“Queenslanders in the south-east can shop around for a cheaper offer, but what we really need is the government to plan for and invest in more renewables to be built sooner.” Stephanie Gray, the deputy director of Solar Citizens, said price increases were most pronounced in coal-dependent states like Queensland.

It said there was a “tighter supply-demand balance in Queensland” and that periods of high demand had been combined with reduced generation availability. That has included record heatwaves and unplanned power outages at coal and gas plants, including at Callide.

The legacy of the coal kissers is that Australia lost the jump-start it had in the creation of renewable energy technologies. The Howard credo of living in the 1950s will haunt all future generations. The lost opportunities of the last 9 years may doom them.
