EQL is largely the enabler of renewables and the energy transition. EQL has its own targets and does work to reduce emissions especially where it is in control of the generation (in its isolated networks). However, in my experience, the cost delta between the green solution and the current solution is too great to justify. E.g. transformer oil: natural ester oil versus mineral oil. Ester oil is green but it is hugely more expensive. It is very hard to justify going for the green solution if it is going to raise everyone's power bills. Especially when the risk of oil spills is low (and when there are spills, it is contained). Technical requirements drive decisions; followed by standards; followed by $$$. I would say EQL is enabling the change rather than leading it.

Sustainability seems to be on the minds of most employees with an effort to reduce impacts to the environment, adopt sustainable solutions where possible, and a push for renewable energy sources.

The QLD electracy network is moving to renewable energy and EQL is at the forefront of this change.
