Lineage
The data used in the webmap comes from many different sources, including: * Australian Energy News (Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources, Canberra) * Electricity Australia Annual Report (Electricity Supply Association of Australia) * Renew Magazine (Alternative Technology Association) * Bioenergy Australia Newsletter * Company websites * Personal communications * Queensland Government Mining and Energy Journal * Australian Financial Review (AFR) * The Australian The original data was collected into an Excel spreadsheet during 1998 at the then Bureau of Resources Sciences (part of the Department of Primary Industries and Energy, Canberra). In 1999 the group responsible for the data transferred to the Geoscience Australia (part of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources, Canberra) and the original spreadsheet was used as the base for the creation of a renewable energy electricity generation sites Geographic Information System shapefile using ArcView3 software. Subsequently, freeware software was used to display this GIS shapefile in the final webmap product. The webmap is updated approximately every six months from changes compiled from site email responses, Geoscience Australia's daily scanning of the media and advice received form the Australian Greenhouse Office.
