Australian electricity generation renewable sources
Graph
The figure shows Australian electricity generation from renewable sources in gigawatt hours from 1993-94 to 2018-19. Generation from renewables has more than doubled over the past decade. The composition of renewable energy in Australia has diversified significantly as wind and solar have expanded, with hydro fluctuating around a consistent base level.
