Power rise to hit home
With the updated renewable energy targets being introduced by the Rudd government, it is expected to cost an additional $84 a year to run a typical household.
The targets are being implemented to ensure that 20 per cent of Australia’s electricity comes from renewable sources by 2020. The expanded RET increases the current RET by over four times, from 9,500 gigawatt-hours to 45,000 gigawatt-hours in 2020, driving significant investment and accelerating the deployment of a broad range of renewable energy technologies. In ten years time the amount of electricity coming from sources like solar, wind and geothermal will be about equal to all of Australia’s current household electricity use.
