Geothermal power in Australia was at one time hoped to provide cost effect, renewable power for Australia.[1] There are locations that have been shown to contain hot granites at depth which hold good potential for development of geothermal energy. Exploratory geothermal wells have been drilled to test for the presence of high temperature geothermal reservoir rocks and such hot granites were detected. However, all these projects have since been abandoned.[2] A small geothermal plant in Queensland experienced problems during commissioning and as at May 2022, remains idle.[3]
