Some of the stats mentioned for Queensland were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>70,964 GWh of electricity generated<\/li>\n<li>13% renewables share of total electricity generation<\/li>\n<li>70% coal share<\/li>\n<li>15% gas share<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coal&#8217;s share of total generation was still very high &#8211; the national share for the problematic little black (or brown) rock was 56%. But coal lost ground in Queensland in 2019. Some additional figures showing the year-on-year changes in electricity generation in the state:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coal -6%<\/li>\n<li>Gas +1%<\/li>\n<li>Wind +194%<\/li>\n<li>Hydro +29%<\/li>\n<li>Solar Power (small and large scale) +62%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A poll of more than 1,000 Queensland residents in late March this year indicated a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/queensland-renewables-coal-mb1505\/\">strong preference for more renewables<\/a> over new coal power.<\/p>\n<p>Queensland&#8217;s government has set a target to have 50% of the state&#8217;s energy generation coming from renewable sources by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Early this month, the Clean Energy Council said a national economic recovery led by accelerated renewables and energy storage investment could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/clean-energy-recovery-mb1511\/\">create tens of thousands of jobs<\/a> and turn Australia into a clean energy superpower. Such a feat isn&#8217;t just about installing more capacity &#8211; a stronger transmission network is also required in order that the capacity can be properly utilised and to improve the reliability and resilience of Australia\u2019s energy system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) is demanding a renewables-led COVID-19 economic recovery for Queensland, and it&#8217;s about to virtually assemble its troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":40141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AYCC Launching QLD Renewable Energy Recovery Campaign<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Australian Youth Climate Coalition is demanding a renewables-led COVID-19 recovery for Queensland, and it&#039;s about to virtually assemble its troops.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AYCC Launching QLD Renewable Energy Recovery Campaign\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Australian Youth Climate Coalition is demanding a renewables-led COVID-19 recovery for Queensland, and it&#039;s about to virtually assemble its troops.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-27T22:29:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/qld-renewable-recovery.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"AYCC Launching QLD Renewable Energy Recovery Campaign\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-05-27T22:29:22+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":427,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/qld-renewables-recovery-mb1542\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/qld-renewable-recovery.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
