A new report by the Climate Council details the increased speed of a business-led transition to renewables as power bills have increased. The Climate Council report, released on Tuesday, said the capacity of Australian businesses to generate their own solar power had doubled in less than two years. Business owners report making their investment back through cost savings in less than five years. The story is being repeated across the country, particularly in the manufacturing industry, where increased power bills have squeezed profits. The Melbourne-based Carlton & United Breweries is moving towards 100% renewable energy.
