The Crisafulli government also committed to meeting Labor’s renewable energy targets, which require 50% of the state’s generation to be sourced by renewables by 2030; 70% by 2032; and 80% by 2035.“It’s really important that the new state government is upfront about which pumped hydro projects they’re considering,” said Dave Copeman, the director of the Queensland Conservation Council.
“We absolutely support the energy transition because climate change is one of the biggest threats to our biodiversity and the places that Queenslanders love, but development needs to be well planned and done right. The new government remains supportive of the 2GW Borumba pumped hydro project, which has progressed further than Pioneer Burdekin, and is already at the early works phase.
