A city is filled with electric cars driven by workers, who are on their way home from high-tech, cutting-edge digital businesses that are driven by renewable energy when the sun falls from the sea, it sounds like San Francisco, but if the Mayor of Adelaide has his way, it may be the capital of South Australia.
In the past few years, South Australia has quickly become the leader in green and renewable energy in Australia.
The state has the world's largest single lithium-ion wind farm.
Cultana's Ion battery installation, pumping plan and the only seawater pumping water and electricity installation in the country.
On February, State Council Prime Minister Jay withermere also announced that the state intends to source energy from renewable sources, a plan that dwarfs the Labor Party in the state of Tasmania, the party aims to generate 120 of its renewable energy power on the island (it plans to export spare energy to the power sector)
Victoria ).
"For a long time, we have been very self-conscious.
"I know Adelaide is not the largest city in Australia, but we are turning this compact size into our advantage," Adelaide mayor Martin Hesse told the ferfax media . ".
"What happened in South Australia is unique.
"The city hopes to be a net carbon zero in 2025 and an example for other Australian cities to follow in terms of environmental goals and leading technologies.
"We are working towards the integration of sustainability and technological innovation," said Mr. Haese . ".
Its goal is to have the fastest internet in the country, and after being listed as Australia's slowest city, the location seems impossible, but Mr Hesse says the location is now on its way.
"We are launching the fast data Internet.
We want to build infrastructure and work with TPG to invest 10-
The gigabyte network in the city.
Mr. Haese pointed out that Austin, Texas, and Chattanooga, Tennessee are cities that reinvent themselves from industrial centers, and Adelaide once owned the title.
"We are looking at the technology and music of our sister city of Austin," he said . ".
Chattanooga is a city known for its trains or Chattanooga Choo, rather than the location of the fastest internet in the United States, which is entirely owned by the city.
Prime Minister Weatherill will also be familiar with the story of Chattanooga, who visited the city in 2012 to learn about the development of the city and serve as a model for how to integrate the city's fast broadband.
Over the past 12 months, Adelaide has stepped up its focus on electric vehicles, working with technology companies such as Tesla and Schneider Electric to install about 40 electric vehicle charging stations by the end of 2018.
"We want to be a leader in innovation, and in doing so, we need to be open to embrace electric cars and electric car automation," Mr Haese said . ".
"We are now building ecosystems and providing infrastructure so that they can build them.
"These charging stations will be located throughout the city and many parking lots.
This is now further supported by the Australian government, which has decided to abandon vehicle registration and stamp duty on new electric vehicles as an incentive to reduce transport emissions.
Adelaide also hopes to become a home battery technology center.
"There is an increasing number of battery technologies in the Adelaide market," Mr Haese said . ".
Recently, one of the world's largest manufacturers of household batteries, German company Sonnen, has promoted this by announcing plans to build a battery manufacturing plant in Adelaide.
The company announced that it would move its headquarters from Sydney to Adelaide and start production within the year. Because it sets the goal of building 50,000 new batteries for Australia and the wider Asian market over the next five years.
"What we are doing is bringing cheap, affordable clean energy to South Australia," said Chris Parratt, managing director of Sonnen Australia . ".
The state government is also supporting the growth of this battery, and MrWeatherill announced plans to provide a $100 million fund.
Interest loans to South Australia for solar panels and battery units.
"The plan will provide up to $10,000 to homeowners without housing
Interest payments for the first seven years . "
South Australia has set ambitious goals to become the most sustainable state in the country. Adelaide will use renewable energy and high energy.
High-speed Internet and electric vehicle infrastructure.
Can other Capitals keep up, or will Adelaide be a city on the bay side of Australia?
