Federal energy and climate minister Chris Bowen touted South Australia’s world-leading renewables share in a final pitch to secure hosting rights for next year’s COP31 UN climate conference.
Appearing at the COP30 climate conference in Belem, Brazil, on Tuesday, Bowen unveiled a report from the Clean Energy Investor Group (CEIG) boasting South Australia’s three-quarter share of wind and solar penetration.
“South Australia proves that clean energy systems can be reliable, secure and affordable. It is the Denmark down under—an example the world can learn from”, said Richie Merzian, CEO of the CEIG.
