Except the Daintree (as one example).

The Daintree area in "sunny" Queensland is a rainforest where there
has been allowed some residential and tourist development.  The greens
protested the opening up of the land, but negotiated that a grid
electricity connection would never cross the Daintree river to service
the area.  All residents would use off-grid systems, solar and wind
systems.

In fact the area gets little usable wind, and very little sun.  The
local residents do not bother with renewable energy much, they run
diesel and petrol generators.  When the greens found out they tried to
legislate to have the motors turned off, resulting in a massive
protest from the locals, especially the businesses.
