In June 2018 , at their G20 Summit in Argentina , the G20 Energy Ministers ‘ welcome ( d ) the approach of Argentina ’s G20 Presidency , which recognises that there are different possible national paths to achieve cleaner energy systems - while promoting sustainability , resilience and energy security - under the term “ transitions ” ( in plural ) . This view reflects the fact that each G20 member - according to its stage of development - has a unique and diverse energy system as starting point , with different energy resources , demand dynamics , technologies , stock of capital , geographies and cultures . ’ Australia has one of the fastest deployment rates of renewable energy worldwide . The country has deployed 5.2 GW of solar and wind power in 2018 alone and at this rate , is on track to reach 50 % renewable electricity in 2024 and 100 % in 2032 . However , Australia may be one of the leading major economies in terms of renewable deployments , but it is one of the least prepared at a network level to make this transition , being ranked 28th out of the list of 32 advanced economies on the World Economic Forum ’s 2019 Energy Transition Index . Austria embarked on its energy transition ( '' Energiewende '' ) some decades ago . Due to geographical conditions , energy production in Austria relies heavily on renewable energies , notably hydropower . 78.4 % of domestic production in 2013 came from renewable energy , 9.2 % from natural gas and 7.2 % from petroleum . ( rest : waste ) . On the basis of the Federal Constitutional Law for a Nuclear-Free Austria , no nuclear power stations are in operation in Austria . But domestic energy production makes up only 36 % of Austria 's total energy consumption , which among other things encompasses transport , electricity production , and heating . In 2013 , oil accounts for about 36.2 % of total energy consumption , renewable energies 29.8 % , gas 20.6 % , and coal 9.7 % . In the past 20 years , the structure of gross domestic energy consumption has shifted from coal and oil to new renewables , in particular between 2005 and 2013 ( plus 60 % ) . The EU target for Austria require a renewables share of 34 % by 2020 ( gross final energy consumption ) . Austria is on a good way to achieve this target ( 32.5 % in 2013 ) . Energy transition in Austria can be also seen on the local level , in some villages , towns and regions . For example , the town of Güssing in the state of Burgenland is a pioneer in independent and sustainable energy production . Since 2005 , Güssing has already produced significantly more heating ( 58 gigawatt hours ) and electricity ( 14 GWh ) from renewable resources than the city itself needs
