The $4-million plant was touted as the beginning of a renewable energy windfall for outback Queensland, but it never produced any power. Winton Shire Council is suing the project manager in the Supreme Court.

Western Australia's government has called time on its involvement in coal power, declaring the state will exit the market before 2030 and plough billions of dollars into renewable energy and storage.

Queensland's eight coal power stations have had several unplanned outages recently, contributing to energy price increases. But what will happen to these stations in the future?

UNSW and CSIRO have been working with an Australian company to develop a self-charging battery that harvests electrical energy from moisture in the air to directly power devices.

Two years after a 'game changing' geothermal power plant was built in Winton, Queensland, the project has failed. Danielle O'Neal reports.

It was touted as the beginning of a renewable energy boom in outback Queensland, but two years after the construction of a "game changing" geothermal power plant in Winton, the project has failed.

A new pricing guide from the national energy regulator has been released, allowing retailers to pass on the cost of surging wholesale power prices to consumers.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has sent thermal coal prices rocketing to new heights, as some European countries look to ban Russian coal.

One of Australia's richest men is betting on green hydrogen to make Australia a world leader in renewable energy while creating jobs in the process.

An energy-generating turbine that caught fire, causing mass blackouts and the evacuation of a Queensland power station, had only last year been given an overhaul to ensure it would "operate safely and reliably".

Embracing big batteries and renewables to diversify Queensland's power sources could spare the state another massive blackout, a leading energy expert says.

For more than 100 years Collie has dug up coal but, as Australia's demand for the black river of gold is drying up, residents must look elsewhere to guarantee their future.

It's been identified as the clean energy source that could help bring the world to net-zero emissions, but green hydrogen's future is not yet assured.

A recently released report by the Energy Security Board has found the security of electricity supply remains "the most concerning issue" for the National Energy Market.

The Federal Government is reshaping the nation's approach to reducing carbon emissions, turning the focus to backing a select few technologies and supporting heavy industry.

A $600 million renewable energy project planned for Mount Isa is expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction and produce cheaper, cleaner power for North West Queensland.

A plan to reduce household power bills by paying big commercial and industrial energy users to cut their consumption on days of peak demand will be brought forward ahead of next summer.

As China and India restrict imports of Australia's recycling, a new report suggests the nation's sunniest place should take it and create export industries.

A new report predicts Australia's thermal coal exports to plummet faster than expected — the result of falling demand across Asia economists believe is permanent and irreversible.

The Federal Government is facing an uphill battle to convince some states to back the National Energy Guarantee, with some leaders saying the plan's targets are too low to drive any new investment in renewable energy.
