Australia’s Energy Minister Angus Taylor confirmed in Question Time yesterday that the nation’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) will wind down from 2020 with nothing to replace it – that is assuming the Morrison Government is still in power after the next election.<\/p>\n

Angus Taylor was elevated to the role of Energy Minister last month after the latest Liberal leadership bloodbath. While he has previously indicated a soft spot for solar power<\/a>, it’s always been pretty clear he’s not a fan of wind farms.<\/p>\n

As he has settled into his new role, it’s also becoming increasingly apparent he won’t be a friend of renewables generally or the RET.<\/p>\n

During Question Time yesterday,\u00a0 Federal Member for Melbourne Adam Bandt asked:<\/p>\n

” To stop renewables falling into a valley of death while parliament works out a new energy policy, will you agree to the Greens proposal of a stopgap extension of the RET out to 2022, or is your goal to be the grim reaper for renewable energy by letting renewables fall into the valley of death?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Angus Taylor responded:<\/p>\n

“The truth of the matter is that the Renewable Energy Target is going to wind down from 2020. The target reaches a peak in 2020, and we will not be replacing that with anything.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Minister Taylor said the Government believes Australia will reach its 26 per cent emissions reduction target without additional intervention, others disagree<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Fair Dinkum” Electricity Generation<\/h2>\n

However, Mr Taylor stated the government was going to support investment in new generation.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to back investment in fair dinkum, reliable generation, because that’s what this country needs. It doesn’t need to be stuck with intermittent generation that drives up prices and drives down reliability.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Taylor pointed to South Australia’s electricity prices as an example – but SA electricity prices have always been high<\/a>; well before the first wind turbine or solar panel was installed in the state.<\/p>\n

The full exchange can be viewed in Tuesday’s House of Representatives Hansard<\/a>, pages 23 and 24.<\/p>\n

Minister Taylor’s confirmation follows what RenewEconomy’s Giles Parkinson labeled an “extraordinary and ill-informed attack against wind and solar<\/a>” in an interview on Sky News on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Mr. Taylor’s views on emissions generally also appear to be at odds with many in his own electorate.<\/p>\n

ReachTEL poll results<\/a> released today of the seat of Hume indicate 42 per cent of respondents believe the 26 to 28 per cent target is not enough, while 30 per cent think it should stay the same and 22 per cent want it reduced, with 6% unsure.<\/p>\n

While the Morrison Government has now made its stance clear on the Renewable Energy Target, there’s still no solid indication<\/a> if it will proceed on the ACCC\u2019s recommendation<\/a> of prematurely ending Australia’s “solar rebate<\/a>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
