Queensland and NT reject Canberra's plan to mandate renewable energy for AI datacentres

Queensland and the Northern Territory have rejected the federal government's plans to require AI datacentres to use renewable energy, dismissing Anthony Albanese's proposals as "underdeveloped ideas that hand increased power to Canberra." S&P Global warns that datacentre power consumption could rise five-fold by 2035, reaching 10% of Australia's total electricity use. A mismatch between datacentre and renewable energy delivery timelines could cause electricity bills to skyrocket.
