The Queensland LNP government has passed the Energy Roadmap Amendment Act 2025, repealing renewable energy targets and enabling a “more realistic and market-driven approach” to the sector.

Several renewables targets, along with the obligation to report on them, have now been shelved—including legally binding milestone targets such as 70 percent by 2032 and 80 percent by 2035.
