Australia passed legislation last week to scale down renewable energy production target from 41,000GWh to 33,000GWh by 2020.

The passage of the legislation is expected to attract renewable energy investments into the country that had been paralysed due to uncertainty.

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates, the country is likely to have more than A$14bn ($10.7bn) investments for clean energy projects involving wind and solar power.

Australian AGL Energy is also likely to announce about the proposed Silverton wind farm in New South Wales by the end of the year.
