Energy Minister Mick De Brenni said adding battery storage and hydrogen production facilities to power plant sites will be in the government’s 10-year energy plan.
Queensland will install renewable energy components at coal-fired power plants, but the state government is ambiguous about plans for using fossil fuel electricity generation.
“Of course, we’re already seeing a worldwide shift from fossil fuels, but the reality is they will continue to play a key role,” he said.“They will be continuing to perform an important function, varied functions into the future as they support the greater uptake of solar wind and initiatives like pump storage.”
Queensland’s public coal and gas generators are forecast to rake in large dividends over the next two years, according to the state budget.
