The Crisafulli Government has released its Energy Roadmap 2025, outlining a strategy to improve Queensland’s existing energy assets.
The roadmap projects $26 billion in reduced energy system costs to 2035, achieved through extending the life of state-owned generation assets, targeted maintenance investment, and greater private sector participation in new projects.
The plan provides clarity on the role of coal and gas in maintaining near-term reliability, while setting a framework for private investment in renewables and firming technologies such as batteries and pumped storage hydropower.
The roadmap outlines a strategy to improve Queensland’s existing energy assets while planning for future generation and storage needs.
