The Queensland Audit Office (QAO) has recommended the state government improve transparency and accuracy in public reporting on its transition to renewable energy sources after finding that some calculations of its progress were inaccurate and its renewables target was not clearly defined.

Renewable energy currently makes up about 18 percent of Queensland energy generated but the Palaszczuk government in 2017 set a target to achieve an energy consumption of 50 percent by 2030.
