"All Australian energy ministers today released the
First Nations Clean Energy
Strategy, honouring a commitment to put First Nations front and centre of the
country’s clean energy transition.
The
First Nations Clean Energy Strategy sets a vision and pathway for
government, industry and First Nations to work in a coherent coordinated
approach to address access to affordable clean power, and ensure
benefit-sharing, partnerships, and First Nations-led projects.
Driven by an ask in 2022 from our member-based First Nations Clean Energy
Network, hundreds of First Nations, industry and government leaders from around
the country drove its design through roundtables and consultations.
It really is a solutions focused document that has been shaped by our people.
The
First Nations Clean Energy Strategy is a signal to our communities that
government is backing us, and a signal to industry that when you prioritise
First Nations partnerships, the government will also back you.
It recognises that the scale and pace of the energy transition needs engagement
from all of us, and that our people are critical to that.
Through its implementation, we can start to deal with existing inequities in
energy access.
Many of our people are still living off grid, relying on expensive, polluting
diesel. And those in urban and regional social housing are yet to enjoy
benefits of more affordable clean power.
Enacting the
Strategy means we can power these homes with renewables, switch
out diesel generation, increase energy efficiency and build in
climate-resilient retrofits, and develop a local workforce at the same time."
