THE GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY BOOM: HOW AUSTRALIA IS MISSING OUT

July 2, 2019

Renewable energy is booming globally, with strong growth in investment and jobs. In contrast, though, Australian jobs and investment in the renewable sector have fallen sharply. › In 2014, clean energy investment grew in China (32%), the US (8%), Japan (12%), Germany (3%) and the UK (3%); however it fell 35% in Australia (with investment in large-scale renewable energy falling 88%), due to policy uncertainty. › 800,000 jobs were created in the renewable energy sector globally between 2012 and 2013. In 2014, the US solar industry added over 31,000 new solar jobs, an increase of 21.8% on the previous year. Jobs in the renewable energy sector fell by 13% in Australia in 2013 while global employment grew by the same amount. › The global boom is a lasting shift, with greater investment now flowing into new renewable energy capacity than other energy sources, including coal.
