Wellington North project in NSW adjoins the 200MW near-complete Wellington PV farm

Australian photovoltaics scientists have made a 'trendy' discovery: Singlet fission and tandem solar cells-- 2 ingenious methods to generate solar energy a lot more successfully-- likewise assist to lower operating temperatures as well as keep devices competing longer.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has actually selected three commercial-scale green hydrogen projects that will share in AU$ 103 million (US$ 79.7 million) of funding to sustain their growth.

Canada-based renewables firm Amp Energy will certainly develop a portfolio of large-scale PV projects and battery energy storage space systems as part of an AU$ 2 billion (US$ 1.55 billion) hub in South Australia.

106MW PV plant in northern Victoria ultimately connected to grid after 18-month delay

South Australia saw record low daytime energy costs in the very first 3 months of this year, driven by a sharp uptake in renewable power sources, consisting of rooftop solar.

Lawmakers in Victoria, Australia, have introduced a new solar gathering pilot system, and also have actually asked for power business to end up being partners in the program.

Australia's airports have untapped possibility to help the nation's shift to renewable energy, according to a report from scientists at Melbourne's RMIT University.

A solar- and also wind-powered environment-friendly hydrogen plant in Western Australia has safeguarded the support of France-based independent power producer Total Eren.

Photon Energy has reached more than 420MWp of PV projects under growth, as the Netherlands-based renewables company weathered the influences of COVID-19 on its financial efficiency last year.

South Australia has struck a AU$ 1.08 billion (US$ 840 million) power and also emissions decrease arrangement with Australia's federal government.

In September last year, the Scott Morrison-led Australian federal government had actually announced that it was establishing a target for the electrical energy field to reach last financial investment choices by the end of April 2021, towards supplying 1000 MW of brand-new dispatchable energy by summer 2023-24, to make sure that the coal-fired Liddell power plant could be folded in 2023 according to routine.

Spanish utility Iberdrola SA (BME: IBE) stated today it has actually mounted the initial turbine at its 317-MW hybrid wind as well as solar power project in South Australia.

AGL, Australia's greatest energy seller and also environment polluter, is making an actual effort to tidy up.

The surge in solar capability in the past years, especially because 2015, has been out there for all to see. It was simply a few years back in 2012 that the world commemorated covering the 100 GW mark in solar. Contrast that with 2021, when the globe expects to include 150 GW in just the year itself!
