Renewable Energy at AGL

[GreenCowboy]

What percentage of AGL's energy supply comes from renewable energy sources?

Hi @GreenCowboy,

Thank you for your question, and for reaching out to us. 

As of 30 June 2017, we operated 1,890 MW of renewable generation capacity, representing 18% of our total operated generation portfolio. You can find more info about this in our Sustainability Report found here. 

You may be interested to note that last month we reached financial close on Coopers Gap Wind Farm. Upon completion, this will be Australia's largest Wind Farm, adding a further 453 MW to our capacity. You can find out more about this here. 

I hope this helps to answer your questions 🙂

Cheers, Jordan

Thanks for the reply @Jordanemm! Great to see almost 1/5 of supply coming from renewables! I hope this number continues to grow in the coming years 🙂

Hi @GreenCowboy, 

Thanks for your question last year about renewables.

You might be interested in our latest Sustainability Report and some other resources we now have available relating to your topic. 

• The 2018 Sustainability Report 
• The Data Centre
• AGL's sustainable commitments.

Cheers,

Interested to know whether you have an updated 2023-24 percentage for this please.

Or an amended 2024-5 first quarter statistic as well..

Hi, 

According to the data 2024 index, 11% of AGL's energy supply comes from renewable energy sources 

Thanks

Wow Syed, it's hard to fathom why it has gone down such a significant 7%.

One would have thought AGL has a pretty high share of consumers in SA, and renewables from rooftop solar alone in SA has absolutely boomed in the past 8 years.

It's hard to imagine the demand has gone up so much in SA during that time, that it would outpace renewables growth.

Adelaide is a little slower to grow than eastern state capitals, and even then, the PV growth alone here in SA (highest uptake in Australia still ?) should have seen a much higher % now, at least that's what I would have thought.

Hi Syed

Are there any graphs/charts in the comparison?

Would be great.

Hi Syed

Any information for 2025, since we are nearly at the end of the year?

If you can provide us with the information?
