“Renewable energy projects, including wind, solar and pumped hydro projects are ready to play their role in drastically cutting emissions from the electricity sector.”

A coalition of ten leading wind energy companies and supportive organisations have today released a joint statement calling on the Andrews government to set science-based Emissions Reductions Targets that help limit global warming to 1.5C.

The statement comes as the state government enters the final week of its decision-making process on Victoria’s first interim targets to cut emissions across the whole economy.

The wind industry statement was facilitated by Friends of the Earth and the Australian Wind Alliance which is available below or as a here as a pdf along with the media release.
