Australia finished the last financial year with a record 36.8 per cent share for wind, solar and hydro on its main grid – reducing the share of coal fired power to just 57 per cent of all power generation – its lowest this century.

Data from OpenNEM reveals that in the past financial year there was 207 terawatt hours of electricity produced on Australia’s main grid – known as the National Electricity Market (NEM) – in 2022/23.

Of this, some 77TWh came from renewable sources: Wind was the biggest renewable contributor with 13 per cent of the overall production, rooftop solar came in with 10 per cent, and utility scale solar with 6.1 per cent, Hydro contributed another 7.6 per cent.
