In 2019, Canberra became the first city in Australia to be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy. iv The city relies on solar and wind farms to produce its electricity, making it green and clean. This was an essential step towards meeting the ambitious target of zero net emissions by 2045. v
Canberra Hydrogen Refuelling Station The hydrogen refuelling station dispenses renewable hydrogen, supporting the ACT Government in its use of 20 light passenger fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in its fleet, as well as several private FCEVs. Project description
Yet the capital city he stood in was almost 100% powered by wind and the sun. This goal was reached in 2020 when the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) — home to the nation's half a million-strong capital, Canberra — had enough renewable electricity to make coal and gas obsolete.
It was the first state or city with a population above 100,000 to decarbonize its grid outside of Europe — the first being Iceland's capital Reykjavik, a city with 70% clean hydroelectricity. In 2021, Canberra was judged the world's most sustainable city by UK energy comparison website, Uswitch.
