2015-16: A year of accelerating the shift to renewable energy for Australia

During 2015-16 the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) helped to deliver a number of breakthroughs that have set Australia firmly on the road to a future where renewable energy is accessible, affordable and reliable.

ARENA’s Annual Report 2015-16 provides a detailed account of that work and is now available on our website.

ARENA’s projects help the most promising renewable energy solutions progress towards commercialisation by reducing industry costs and building capacity and capability in the energy sector. They also make a contribution to the economy by creating local jobs, developing a skilled workforce, contributing to regional communities, and establishing new supply chains.

Since its establishment ARENA has committed almost $1 billion to support 272 renewable energy projects located around the country. During 2015-16, 193 of those projects were announced or active. ARENA’s involvement attracted additional funding from other sources including private investors, bringing the total value of the 272 ARENA-supported projects to $2.2 billion.

The ARENA Annual Report 2015-16 is the most up-to-date and comprehensive compilation of ARENA’s work over the past financial year, highlighting achievements, listing funding commitments, and demonstrating the value that ARENA delivers to all Australians.

It includes:

  • a report from the ARENA Chair, Martijn Wilder, outlining how ARENA’s work fits into the transition to renewable energy that is taking place around the world
  • a report from ARENA’s CEO, Ivor Frischknecht, detailing how ARENA has helped bring renewable energy technologies closer to commercialisation, lower the cost of renewable energy, and make important technological breakthroughs
  • a summary of the world and Australian-first achievements made by ARENA-supported projects
  • a showcase providing case studies on a selection of our exciting projects
  • a progress report against the agency’s legislated performance measures.

In short, the ARENA Annual Report 2015-16 is a uniquely useful guide to the agency’s role, contribution and achievements for anyone interested in the future of renewables in Australia.
