The Tasmanian Liberal Government remains unequivocal in our support for the Renewable Energy Target (RET), which recognises and rewards Tasmania's generation of clean renewable energy.
The RET supports Tasmanian jobs and economic growth and that is why we remain committed to it.
We have advocated strongly on behalf of Tasmania's interests in our discussions with senior Commonwealth Government Ministers, in our submission to the RET Review, and in other forums.
Tasmania's existing investments in both hydro and wind generation must be protected and we will continue to lobby strongly for that to happen.
Our policy is to make energy a competitive advantage for the State which helps to drive economic growth. The Commonwealth Government should maintain a framework which allows us to make the best use of our renewable generation assets.
The Tasmanian Liberal government will stand up for what is in the best interests of Tasmania.
