Clean energy set to provide 35% of Australia's electricity within two years

The renewable boom will end without a national policy to encourage future clean investments, industry warns

A report by consultants Green Energy Markets found rooftop solar systems and new large-scale farms regularly pushed renewable energy to beyond 30% of generation at midday during June, one of the least sunny months.
