Australia has ambitious plans to generate more than 80 per cent of its power from renewable sources by 2030. But a growing number of experts say the country is way behind where it should be.

Plans by the federal government for Australia to generate more than four-fifths of its power from renewable sources by 2030 are coming under pressure amid claims the country is way off track.

Key points:

  • There are increasing suggestions Australia will fall short of its 2030 renewable power target of 82 per cent

  • Analysts predict Australia’s share of renewable energy is on track to be about 60 per cent at the current rate of progress

  • The forecasts come amid mounting opposition to projects such as transmission lines in some parts of Australia
