The federal minister responsible for supporting energy resources has labelled towns like Yackandandah aiming to become 100 per cent reliant on solar energy as living in a “fantasy land”.
Resources Minister Matt Canavan visited Wodonga on Wednesday to speak with business about protecting jobs in food production and manufacturing during a time of rising power costs.
He said the Victorian government’s goal for 50 per cent renewable energy was “mad” and should be done in a more managed way.
Asked by The Border Mail if community group Totally Renewable Yackandandah could expect federal government support in its goal to have 100 per cent renewable energy by 2022, Senator Canavan said the idea would not work for towns “when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine”.
