On 7 May 2021, the Government released the National Gas Infrastructure Plan: Interim Report, which identifies the priority infrastructure developments required to alleviate forecast southern gas supply shortfalls in the near-term.
The Energy Efficiency Tools Review report provides a list of software tools used internationally for analysing energy use in the manufacturing, oil, gas, and power generation sectors. These software tools help users find energy savings in their business operations.
On 4 April 2019 the former Department of the Environment and Energy released an interim report on the liquid fuel security review.
The Australian Energy Statistics is the authoritative and official source of energy statistics for Australia to support decision making, and help understand how our energy supply and use is changing. It is updated each year and consists of detailed historical energy consumption, production and trade statistics and balances. This edition contains the latest data for 2018-19.

Table O of the Australian Energy Statistics has been updated to include the latest data available on Australia’s electricity generation. This release provides estimates for 2017-18 and calendar year 2018.
Total electricity generation in Australia was estimated to be 261,405 gigawatt hours (GWh) in calendar year 2018.
Fossil fuel sources contributed 212,066 GWh (81%) of total electricity generation in 2018, a decrease of 3% compared with 2017.
Coal accounted for the majority of electricity generation, at 60% of total generation in 2018.
In 2009, the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism coordinated a large energy-efficiency skills research project on Australia’s highest energy-using companies: the Long-term Training Strategy on Energy Efficiency Assessment Skills. This identified skills gaps and shortages that may be limiting their ability to fully realise their energy efficiency potential. Skills gaps and shortages were found within the trades sector, as well as in key professions such as engineering, accounting, business and management.
In 2011, Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism commissioned the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to conduct a small project to identify attributes and associated learning outcomes required by engineering graduates to work effectively on energy efficiency. RET then commissioned QUT, with in-kind support from Engineers Australia, to conduct consultation to obtain industry perspectives on the findings of its previous work. This document reports on that consultation process, which:
Our department recognises the First Peoples of this nation and their ongoing connection to culture and country.
