The NSW Government is committed to a diverse, affordable, modern energy system. Wind energy is a key part of the state’s energy mix and is supported under the government's Renewable Energy Action Plan.

Bioenergy comes from organic matter called biomass. Biomass sources include crops, forests, grasses and waste. If burnt, biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) which can be reabsorbed through photosynthesis during the regrowth of biomass crops.

Geothermal energy is Earth’s naturally occurring heat, which is used to generate electricity or other forms of power. 

Hydro energy is the most established renewable energy technology in NSW and can provide rapid power on demand.

Ocean energy can be used to generate electricity. One way it can be harnessed is by using a floating buoy, platform or submerged device (for wave, tidal and ocean current energy)

To meet NSW Government’s net-zero emissions target by 2050, the Knowledge Sharing Initiative assists businesses to share stories and innovative solutions.

The Case Management service makes it easy to invest in NSW by providing a central point of contact for businesses investing in large-scale energy infrastructure that improves the reliability of the NSW electricity system.
