NSW Opposition proposes shifting renewable energy focus from regional zones to Sydney
By
Chantelle Al-Khouri, Peter Sanders
Summary
The NSW Opposition has proposed a major overhaul of the state's renewable energy policy, shifting focus from large regional renewable energy zones to urban solar and battery projects in Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong. The plan includes establishing a Sydney City Renewable Energy Zone to boost solar and battery storage across industrial precincts, commercial buildings, and apartment complexes. It would also scale back the New England renewable energy zone and scrap its proposed 500-kilovolt transmission line corridor, while backing an Outback Renewable Energy Zone near Broken Hill.
