energy transition
powering success for tomorrow
The industry
The Australian Energy Sector is a critical component of the nation’s economy and infrastructure, encompassing a diverse range of activities from resource extraction to power generation and distribution.
Australia’s energy efficiency has seen significant improvements over the past decade. For each petajoule of energy used, Australia generated $409 million in GDP in 2022-23, an $88 million increase from ten years prior.
To put this progress into perspective, the country’s economy now requires 22% less energy to produce the same dollar value of output compared to a decade ago.
