The Australian government intends to make an ambitious shift towards renewable energy, including closing coal mines and expanding the use of solar and wind energy.

As part of these efforts, the Spanish company Actona is developing the largest onshore wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere.

This project covers an area of approximately 36,000 hectares and is located southwest of Brisbane in the state of Queensland, and aims to provide a sustainable source of electricity in a region suffering from drought.

Diversifying farmers' incomes is key to the survival of Australian agriculture, and farmers are collaborating with renewable energy companies such as Acthona to install wind turbines on their land; This provides them with additional income and contributes to achieving environmental sustainability.

On the other hand, the French energy company Engie is seeking to develop an integrated renewable energy project that combines wind and solar in the state of New South Wales. This project is known as “The Plains” and aims to provide a total capacity of 1.9 gigawatts.

To boost community support, Engie is offering discounts on electricity bills to immediate neighbors of its projects, and it is believed that this move will encourage more people to support renewable energy projects.
