Andrews government kicks off energy policy reforms

The Andrews government has kicked off energy policy reforms to clear the path for community-owned renewable energy projects, such as wind farms, with the release of a discussion paper on community owned renewables.

Environment group Friends of the Earth welcome the discussion paper and say communities, government and business must work together to smash Victoria’s Renewable Energy Targets.

“It is critical for the Andrews government to get the definition of community Renewable Energy Targets right to ensure communities contribute towards hitting Victoria’s Renewable Energy Targets,” said Em Gayfer, Friends of the Earth’s community energy coordinator.
