Consultation opens for Renewable Hydrogen Target in Western Australia

Share

The Western Australian Government is implementing the Renewable Hydrogen Strategy to support the growth of the State’s renewable hydrogen industry.

This involves stimulating local demand for hydrogen to develop our domestic hydrogen industry, within the energy, industrial and transport sectors.

As part of this work, the McGowan Government is encouraging stakeholders to provide comment on the potential design of a Renewable Hydrogen Target for electricity generation in Western Australia’s main electricity grid the South West Interconnected System.

Electricity retailers would be required to procure a certain percentage of electricity fuelled by renewable hydrogen, creating a local market which would support emerging hydrogen projects and improve grid stability.

Stakeholder input will be crucial to maximising the benefits to WA and supporting the long-term growth of a local renewable hydrogen industry.

Energy Policy WA is seeking feedback from interested stakeholders on the proposed design of the Renewable Hydrogen Target.
