Since its launch in early 2012, RenewEconomy.com.au has established itself as Australia’s best informed, most respected, most read, and the go-to web-site for information on the green energy transition.
It is considered a “must read” by the industry and policy-makers, and others with a strong interest in the transition to a zero carbon economy. In calendar 2024, it boasted unique page views of more than 24.5 million, and enjoyed average monthly unique visitors of more than 500,000.
Across its stable of web-sites, including the fast-growing and EV-focused The Driven, and One Step Off The Grid, annual page views are running at more than 35 million and an audience of more than one million unique visitors.
The daily – and free – newsletter for Renew Economy is received by more than 28,000 subscribers, mostly in industry, with an excellent open rate of 38 per cent.
But the web-site’s overall readership is much broader, and averages more than 500,000 unique visitors each month.
Renew Economy was founded and is still owned by Giles Parkinson, a former business editor and deputy editor with the Australian Financial Review, and before that AAP. The publication is now edited by Sophie Vorrath, who has been with the company since day 1. Giles remains editor in chief.
The goal of this website is to break and report news, discuss the ideas, and analyse the trends, the new technologies and the policies that will drive this transformation to a net zero economy.
We also produce four regular and highly popular podcasts, Energy Insiders and Solar Insiders, SwitchedOn Australia, and The Driven podcast, which includes interviews with ministers, corporate leaders and others doing interesting things, along with news and analysis.
The weekly Energy Insiders podcast has now exceeded two million plays.
RenewEconomy operates on an advertising revenue model, so please don’t be shy! You can find out more here.
Contributed articles are also invited. The website is open to comments from readers, but they will be moderated if they move beyond acceptable standards, or if they include links. We would like a conversation; no shouting, no abuse.
We hope you find Renew Economy to be useful, informative and enjoyable. We’d love your feedback.
