Government of South Australia
South Australia offers a unique combination of sun and wind, is close to significant mineral resources, including Australia’s richest copper resource, superior magnetite iron ore resources and proximity to the world’s second largest proven graphite reserves.
South Australia has what the world wants. What the world demands. South Australia is open for business.
South Australia is leading the clean energy transition, 75 per cent of the state’s electricity is now generated from renewable resources. The Government of South Australia has brought forward the state’s renewable energy target by three years, that means the electricity generation would be sourced from net 100 per cent renewables by 2027.
The South Australian Government is keen to support the development of South Australia’s renewable energy ecosystem and is showcasing the state’s path to decarbonisation through numerous projects and supportive policy initiatives.
The State Prosperity Project is a co-ordinated initiative to unlock the full potential of renewable energy, critical minerals and green steel manufacturing to reindustrialise this region and herald a new era of prosperity for South Australia.
The State Government’s Hydrogen Jobs Plan features a world leading hydrogen production, power plant and storage facility at Whyalla in South Australia’s Upper Spencer Gulf for operation in early 2026. Hydrogen is a sought-after energy source of the future – and our vast expanses of available land and high-quality wind speeds and solar capacity, combining progressive regulation and targeted investment, means South Australia is primed to become a first-mover, low-cost hydrogen supplier.
The South Australian Government is also exploring Northern Water, a large-scale desalination plant and pipeline network, which would unlock Australia’s largest copper deposits, critical minerals and realise the full potential of hydrogen in South Australia.
Come and say hi to the Government of South Australia team where representatives from Trade and Investment, Energy and Mining, Infrastructure and Transport and Hydrogen Power SA are available to answer questions about partnership and off-take opportunities, investing in or developing renewable energy projects in South Australia.
While at the South Australian Government booth, we invite you to immerse yourself with South Australia’s Virtual Reality installation which will transport you to the other side of the world to experience all that the state has to offer.
