Australia Day is less than a week away and there are so many reasons to celebrate.

From a selection of 144 countries, KeyFacts Energy features Australia in the continuing series of 'at-a-glance' reports, with selected information taken from our popular 'Energy Country Review' database.

Australia’s net zero policies are driving a rapid de-industrialisation, as energy-intensive industries struggle to remain viable under rising costs and regulatory burdens.

The Energy Department is canceling some $3.7 billion in government support for clean energy projects it said did not warrant continued backing from the Trump administration.

When it comes to resources, Australia is the Saudi Arabia of the southern hemisphere.

Chevron boss Mike Wirth has attacked the Biden administration’s oil and gas policy, saying it was pushing up prices and “undermining energy security” for US allies.

Solar panels have become so cheap that they are being used to build garden fences in the Netherlands and Germany, as a boom in Chinese production saturates the global market.

A looming gas shortfall that threatens to curtail industries and derail Australia’s energy transition is the fault of 10 successive government interventions, the Gina Rinehart-backed Senex Energy has declared, and now the country has little time left to fix the mess.

LACK OF SUPPLY THREATENS POWER GRID Gas generators may be forced to burn diesel to keep the power grid running after authorities warned that states face a catastrophic supply shortfall from next year unless new sources of supply are developed. The Australian Energy Market Operator revealed that gas generators could have to run on diesel through to 2026 during periods of high demand, due to the lack of gas on the east coast. Gas generators were last forced to use diesel to prop up the electricity grid in 2022 when Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered a domestic crisis.
