Grids

As key purchasers of solar power, distribution companies are central to India’s renewable energy goals. But, under severe financial strain, they could also derail those same ambitions.

Australia's utility-scale solar PV and wind assets generated a combined 4.7TWh in March 2026, according to data from Rystad Energy.

In our latest article in the NEM Data Spotlight Series, we observe that March saw declines in both utility-scale and rooftop solar.

In its analysis, Ember examined grid capacity across 20 EU countries and found the major gap was at the transmission level, with a possible shortfall of 104 GW that would affect utility-scale solar projects.

South Australia could see its peak load double from 3.3GW today to 6.5-7GW by 2040, driven by data centres, green steel and hydrogen demand.

Nearly a year after the Iberian blackout, an expert panel has released its final report regarding the causes that resulted in a combination of “many interacting factors”.
