Regional Matters 2005 - Energy Choices

Regional Matters Chapters | Issues | Linked Topics | Regional Atlas Information Links

Brown coal reserves currently provide the majority Victoria’s energy needs. As demand for energy increases, greater focus is being placed on alternative energy sources such as solar, hydro, wind, geothermal and biomass. Attention is also being given to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and changing business and personal behaviours to manage future energy demands.
