Rise of Solar Rooftops to Accelerate Coal's Exit in Australia
Australia's accelerating power shift will certainly see half of all houses mounted with rooftop solar in the very early 2030s, aiding to spur a faster exit from coal-fired power generation, according to the operator of the nation's main power market.
About 14 gigawatts of generation capacity utilizing the gas might retire by the end of the decade, far more than the 5.4 gigawatts of closures presently introduced, the Australian Power Market Operator claimed Friday, pointing out one of the most likely situation in a draft plan to develop the nation's electrical energy system over the next thirty years.
" The field is undergoing a more fast change than has been previously anticipated," the operator claimed in the plan. "Provided these uncertainties, the efficient sychronisation of closures will certainly be extremely challenging."
Over half of houses attached to the national electricity market will certainly have roof photovoltaic panels set up by 2032 from the current 30%, and that will certainly rise to 65% by 2050, according to AEMO's plan.

Australian homes lead the world in solar installations
Australia, which still depends heavily on coal for power generation, can do more to harness advantages in renewables, according to the paper. Utility-scale wind as well as solar capacity can be increased nine-fold by 2050 to about 140 gigawatts.
" We have the blueprint for how Australia can run a coal power-free grid in a little over a decade," stated Richie Merzian, climate and power program supervisor at the Australia Institute, a brain trust that promotes a quicker change away from fossil fuels.
A few other essential AEMO forecasts for modifications by 2050:
A tripling of firming capacity such as batteries, hydro storage as well as online nuclear power plant.
Installation of 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) of transmission lines.
Installation of four times the current roof solar capacity, with the majority of attached to a dedicated power storage space system.

Ace Power Secures Grid-Connection Approvals for 303 MW of BESS in Australia
Australian renewable energy developer ACE Power has received grid-connection approvals from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for two battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a combined capacity of 303 MW. The approvals are for the 103 MW Kerang battery in Victoria and the 200 MW Yabulu battery in Queensland. Both facilities will connect to the transmission network through existing substations at the respective sites. ACE Power plans to begin construction on the projects in the second quarter of this year.ACE Power owns a pipeline of over 6 GWp of wind, solar, and energy storage projects in Australia, with 1.2 GWp dedicated to battery schemes. These approvals mark an important milestone for the company as they are among the earliest nationwide for BESS to operate in grid forming mode from the date of commissioning.
What are the grid-connection approvals received by ACE Power for their battery energy storage systems?
ACE Power has received grid-connection approvals for their battery energy storage systems.
The approvals cover multiple projects located in various regions.
One of the approved projects is a 50-MW battery energy storage system in New South Wales, Australia.
Another approved project is a 30-MW battery energy storage system in Queensland, Australia.
ACE Power's battery energy storage systems will contribute to stabilizing the grid and reducing the occurrence of blackouts.
The systems will also enable the integration of renewable energy sources and provide real-time access to 100% renewable energy for customers.
Construction for the approved projects is expected to begin in the next two years, with the battery systems becoming operational shortly after.
