About

Renewables Done Right explores how rural and regional Australians are living and working alongside renewable energy.

Here you'll see how Aussies are farming alongside wind turbines and under solar panels and transmission lines; how communities are making sure renewable energy projects are providing local benefits; how nature can co-exist alongside well-sited wind farms; how renewable projects can grow regional housing... and much more.

Renewables Done Right is a growing body of work compiled by the Renewable Energy Alliance (RE-Alliance). Learn more here.
