The Greens have announced a $53 billion clean energy plan for Queensland which it says will create tens of thousands of jobs.
Leader Richard Di Natale unveiled the plan while in Brisbane on Sunday to launch the party's Queensland federal election campaign.
"Our plan to build 90 per cent renewable energy nationally by 2030 would generate $53 billion of investment in clean-energy projects in Queensland over 15 years," he said.
"This would be delivered through a combination of direct government investment and ownership, and reverse auctions which provide bankable incentives for private sector investment."
Senator Di Natale said the plan would create between 3000 and 5500 full-time jobs in design and construction each year from 2017 across Queensland, particularly in regional areas hit hard by the mining downturn.
Queensland Greens Senator Larissa Waters said delivering a clean-energy economy would also safeguard Great Barrier Reef tourism jobs and agricultural jobs that were threatened by coal mining and coal seam gas.
"The old parties are leaving Queensland at risk of missing out on the job-rich clean energy revolution," she said.
