NT Government to transition remote indigenous communities to renewable power by 2030 Around 70 per cent of all indigenous people living in remote communities throughout the Northern Territory are set to gain access to renewable energy, following an infrastructure plan announced by the NT Government. The Government has invested $2 million into a plan to power these areas using green energy, with the infrastructure to be put out through a competitive tender process. The plan was one of the recommendations in the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commissions report 1 from 2020, and is also in line with the NT’s plans to cover 50 per cent of its electricity needs with renewable sources by 2050.
