Record renewables. Declining investment. A misinformation crisis. Energy leaders convene to work through all of it.

NOOSA HEADS, Queensland, Jun. 11, 2026 — The Noosa Power & Energy Conference (NoosaPEC) convenes June 15-16 at Peppers Resort, Noosa Heads – a working forum to assess the state of play in the energy transition and what’s required to bridge the gap to 82 per cent renewables.

Hosted by The Cleantech Network, the 2026 agenda addresses five of the most consequential issues facing Australia’s clean energy and industrial future.

Renewables are working. Investment isn’t keeping up.

The Clean Energy Council’s 2026 annual report confirmed that renewables generated 43% of Australia’s electricity last year, Australia is now the world’s third-largest utility-scale battery market, and investment in new generation fell 50% to $4.4 billion. Onshore wind commitments dropped 57%. Ninety unscheduled coal outages across summer 2025-26 left 25% of coal capacity offline at any given time across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Australia has 64 gigawatts of generation and storage waiting for grid connection. Capital and capability are not the constraint. Converting the pipeline into committed investment is.
