Australia could grow to become a global renewable energy giant, producing as much as ten times more electricity than is currently consumed, all from renewable sources, according to the CEO of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.
In 2019, Miller told RenewEconomy’s Energy Insiders podcast that Australia could aim to produce much more electricity from renewable energy sources than is currently consumed in total in Australia – as much as 700 per cent renewable electricity, with the excess used to produce zero emissions fuels.
In a more recent speech to Australian Energy Week, and a subsequent post to LinkedIn, Miller upped the ante, saying Australia could be producing as much as ten times more renewable energy that is needed to meet local demand.
