The Queensland Resources Council says the State Government should reconsider its policy of lifting renewable sources’ share of power generation from just seven per cent to 50 per cent by 2030. It argues that the focus should be on setting an appropriate target for renewables which ensures that there is no rise in electricity prices for retail customers. The QRC has also raised doubts about the number of jobs that the renewable energy industry is likely to generate.
