Australia is replacing coal and gas power with solar and wind—
At the turn of the millennium, Australia got more than 80% of its electricity from coal. This has dropped to less than 45%.
The chart shows how the country’s electricity mix has changed in recent decades.
In the 2000s and early 2010s, coal was initially replaced by gas, with only moderate growth in solar and wind. But in the last five years, solar and wind have been deployed much more quickly.
Gas is now on the decline, too. In 2023, solar overtook gas to become Australia’s second-largest electricity source.
While coal is declining, it still supplies much more of Australia’s power than most high-income countries.

National polls are one insight. But this is what fragmentation actually looks like on a map.
Take our RedBridge Accent Research May MRP and sort all 150 seats by where people live.
Labor still dominates the cities, 34 of 43 inner-metro seats, 30 of the outer suburbs. One Nation dominates the other Australia, 28 of 39 rural seats and 10 of 17 provincial ones.
The action is in the middle. In the outer-suburban mortgage belt, One Nation is already on 15 seats and climbing, while the Coalition is down to five. In provincial Australia the Coalition is gone entirely, wiped out...leaving a straight One Nation v Labor fight.
