Tasmania's Renewable Energy Future: Submission to the Draft Tasmanian Renewable Energy Action Plan

This submission has been prepared as a contribution to the development of the Draft Tasmanian Renewable Energy Action Plan 2020 (TREAP). The analysis responds to the specific questions posed in the TREAP while also outlining a wider range of options which could be considered as part of a broader energy and emissions strategy. The overall aim of the Action Plan should be to develop an advanced and sustainable energy system which delivers long-term economic, social and environmental benefits to the Tasmanian community while making a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions nationally. It is an opportunity for Tasmania to provide leadership in relation to one of the most significant global challenges of our age.
