Australia's 6-GW renewables tender set to launch in May
Australia will launch a 6 GW renewable energy tender in May, the largest single auction of its kind in the country. The tender will support the National Electricity Market and is part of the expanded Capacity Investment Scheme, targeting 32 GW of dispatchable and variable capacity nationwide. New South Wales will be the largest beneficiary, with at least 2.2 GW of capacity reserved for the state.The tender will replace a planned generation Long-Term Energy Service Agreements tender in New South Wales, allowing projects to participate in the CIS round. Additionally, the state will hold tenders for long-duration storage infrastructure and access rights to its Renewable Energy Zones. Western Australia will also open tenders mid-year for 500 MW of dispatchable power through storage, as part of Australia's efforts to reach its 82% renewable energy target by 2030.

Australia National University hits new perovskite efficiency record
Australia National University has set a new efficiency record of 21.6% for a single junction perovskite solar cell measuring 1cm². The record was previously held by South Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, which achieved 22.1% on a smaller perovskite cell in 2017 but topped out at 19.7% when scaled up to a square centimeter. The Best Research Cell Efficiencies chart published by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory has listed another perovskite cell, jointly developed by the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology and MIT, at 25.2%, but further details do not appear to have been published yet. “When they’re very small it’s difficult to measure them accurately and it’s not necessarily representative of what would happen if you scaled up,” said ANU associate professor Thomas White. “So our result is the highest on a scale that many consider the minimum: one square centimeter.” Engineered nanostructure The latest record setting cell relies on a specially engineered material with a nanostructure that enables high voltage and current. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s Photovoltaics Performance Laboratory certified Australia National University’s efficiency record. The ANU study received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. White went on to note the remaining challenge for perovskites is stability and proving they can match industry expectations for a 25 to 30-year operational lifetime. The associate professor said the university’s ultimate aim is to combine its perovskites into a tandem device with silicon – a target several companies are bringing closer to reality, with planned production lines ramping up in various locations.
