The Darwin-Katherine Electricity System Plan outlines the government's plan to invest in a combination of renewable technologies including solar, thermal generation and batteries to achieve the target.

Ms Lawler said the plan also aims to achieve the NT Government's economic goal of reaching a $40 billion economy by 2030.

"It will also look at how we can cut our emissions by up to half, but also look at the cost of power being reduced in the Darwin-Katherine grid by up to $30 million by 2030," she said.

However, when asked if the savings would be reflected in power bills, Ms Lawler said it was a "complicated question."

"At the moment we have a community service obligation, which is about $80 million in the grid," she said.

"So, it's a question probably for a government by 2030 because that's when those savings will be realised by."

She said the renewables projects would provide a boost for jobs in the regions.

"Across the Territory there will be jobs in the renewable area, so whether it's Sun Cable and their huge project that they're putting in the Barkly region, or whether it's renewable projects in the Top End at the Renewable Energy Hub which is out from Channel Island, or whether power in Central Australia."

Executive Director for the Office of Sustainable Energy within the NT Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade Jim McKay said the plan aims to introduce renewables in other aspects of life including the use of electric vehicles.

"I think the world in 2030 is going to be far more exciting," he said.

"What we envisage is a $40 billion economy by 2030 which includes electrification of industry electric vehicles."
