The Australian Capital TerritoryвЂ™s (ACT) government (which includes Canberra) has used 100 per cent renewable-generated electricity from a range of sources since October 2019, reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by about 40 per cent. As well as the national federal government, Australia has six state governments and two territories, and several of these are making significant strides towards renewables adoption and emissions reductions.
