SYDNEY--Australia's renewable energy target should be retained in its current form to avoid, undermining the confidence of investors in wind, solar and geothermal energy, according to the Government Adviser on climate change.
Australia should keep, by his goal to 41,000 gigawatt hours electricity from renewable sources by 2020 to get the climate change Agency due said today in a preliminary assessment of the policy before its final report in December.
The goal should be maintained although the country on track to reach would originally after the authority around 25 percent of its power from renewable energy instead of the 20 percent. Some makes Australian unit, TRUenergy Holdings Pty Ltd. companies including CLP Holdings Ltd., said that the target account for the decline in demand for electricity and to cut costs should be reduced.

Australia's strategies for emission reduction and clean energy encourage investment from a$ 100 billion ($104 billion) over the next four decades can drive, Combet said. The Government set a price of $23 per metric ton of carbon emissions for about 300 of its largest polluters for the year which began on July 1 with a market-based system to in 2015 start.
