What is the interactive map?

RenewMap is an interactive mapping tool that displays up-to-date renewable energy project data for Australia and New Zealand. Built on advanced geographic information system (GIS) technology, RenewMap lets you visualise solar, wind, battery, hydro and other clean energy projects using layers, base maps and filters.

You can explore project boundaries, development footprints, capacity, infrastructure and environmental data, then drill down into individual project details such as approval status, timeline and ownership.

Whether you’re developing renewable energy projects, analysing the market, or identifying business opportunities, RenewMap’s map view gives you the insights you need to make informed decisions.

Some of the main features of RenewMap include:

1. The table view, where you can filter and compare projects. Learn more about the table view.
2. Base views and visualisations, where you can change how you want to view the geography and topology of the map. You can change between different overviews including project boundaries, generation and storage capacity, marginal loss factors, emissions and volume. Learn more about base views.
3. Layers, or different overlays that filter projects and transmission lines based on their type, including their project status, technology, infrastructure, network, renewable zone and local government area. Learn more about layers.
4. Search, where you can find projects by name, location, developer or owner.
5. Project updates, including custom filters and email subscriptions.
6. Map controls, where you can navigate the map by zooming in and out.
