Game on: the Australian renewable energy race heats up

The report Game On: Australia’s Renewable Energy Race Heats Up grades Australia's states on their renewable energy policy and performance across rooftop solar penetration, large-scale capacity per capita and percentage of renewable electricity. Around the world, governments at state, regional and local levels are playing an increasingly crucial role in the transition from fossil fueled energy to renewable power. In many cases, sub-national governments are adopting stronger renewable energy targets and policies than their national counterparts; are piloting new, creative approaches to boosting renewable energy; and are teaming up to expand their influence.
