About the interactive map

This map is based on publicly available data and shows the location of accredited renewable energy power station sites in Australia. The data have been extracted from an oracle database held by Geoscience Australia  on all types of electricity generating power stations.

Scope of Data

The data plotted are a subset from the database and are all accredited renewable energy power plants above three kilowatts capacity. The data was last updated on 19 March 2008.

Data Completeness

Reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the quality and completeness of the data (Please refer to the metadata sheet). Furthermore, Geoscience Australia welcomes information that can be made available publicly on accredited power stations that are, or are not yet, covered by the database. For this purpose, the following facility is provided for the supply of additional information via the Internet for inclusion in the database.
