Grids

Octopus Australia has received grid connection approval from AEMO for a 300MW solar-plus-storage site in New South Wales.

Australia’s Victoria government has proposed seven REZ for the state, emphasising these will help achieve its target of 2.7GW of utility-scale solar PV generation by 2040.

New data released by Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has noted that 553MW of capacity was approved in the NEM in April.

Expanding the grid infrastructure of ASEAN countries could unlock 24GW of new solar capacity, according to Ember Climate.

The Spanish Minister for MITECO, Sara Aagesen, ruled out a cyberattack on the blackout that affected Spain and Portugal on 28 April 2025.

AEMO has found that grid-scale solar PV generation achieved an all-time high in Q1 2025, reaching 2,386MW, a 10% year-on-year (YoY) increase.

April 2025 saw solar PV generation, both rooftop and utility-scale, decrease marginally month-on-month in Australia’s NEM by almost 11%.

The New South Wales government has said that 3.5GW of solar PV, BESS and wind have been granted the right to connect to the South West REZ.

PV Talk: “We need more grid, but there are a lot of challenges and hurdles in expanding the grid,” José Visquert tells PV Tech Premium.

EnergyCo has awarded a contract to a consortium to deliver the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) in New South Wales, Australia.
