Today’s passage of the Federal Government’s clean energy legislation through the Senate was the start of a new era that will transform Australia’s energy supply, according to the clean energy industry’s peak body.

Clean Energy Council Chief Executive Matthew Warren said today marked the beginning of a shift in the way we generate, deliver and consume electricity.

“This is a historic day for Australia and for the energy sector more broadly. Not only does it signal to the world that our country is committed to playing its part in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, it heralds a new dawn for Australian innovation in clean energy,” Mr Warren said.

“Our industry has been calling for the right policy environment and a carbon price is a crucial part of that. The establishment of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the $10 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation will give emerging technologies the boost they need to prove their potential as mainstream energy sources.
