The Greens have outlaid a blueprint to make Australia's energy generation at least 90 per cent renewable by 2030.
Under the plan, to be launched in Melbourne on Sunday, a new $500 million government authority called RenewAustralia would use reverse auctions and direct investment to deliver a 15-year pipeline of clean energy projects.
A $1 billion clean energy transition fund would be set up to help coal workers and communities with the transition.
Coal-fired power stations would gradually be shut down, starting with Hazelwood.
"Transitioning to clean energy is the key to unlocking Australia's economic potential and combating global warming," Greens Leader Richard Di Natale said.
"While both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten talk about tackling climate change, they have locked us into the industries of the last century, supporting coal and vested interests."
Greens industry spokesman Adam Bandt said the plan would lower electricity bills for households and businesses and create thousands of highly-skilled jobs.
He says RenewAustralia would increase electricity production by about 50 per cent and help double energy efficiency by 2030.
