Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) recorded a combined 2,413GWh of solar generation in June 2026, comprising 1,092GWh from utility-scale assets and 1,321GWh from rooftop systems.

Australia needs to build nearly 120GW of utility-scale wind and solar by 2050, approximately five times the current level, says AEMO.

Sonnedix has received authorisation from Spain’s CNMC to operate as a licensed electricity trading and supply company in the country.

The deployment of renewable energy capacity in Spain has driven a decoupling from volatile global gas prices, resulting in a 19% reduction in consumer electricity bills.

Transgrid has confirmed that Project EnergyConnect, Australia's largest transmission project, is being fully energised following completion of construction on its New South Wales (NSW) section.

Australia’s Queensland has allocated AU$3.2 billion to the CopperString transmission project in its 2026-27 State Budget.

Ark Energy has been granted approval by AEMO and Transgrid to connect its 435MW Richmond Valley solar-plus-storage project to the NEM.

Australian NEM solar generation fell 21.2% to 3,038GWh in May 2026, while a sharp mid-month pricing spike reversed April's stabilisation trend.

Australia's utility-scale solar PV and wind assets generated a combined 4.6TWh in May 2026, up 10% from 4.2TWh recorded in May 2025, according to data published by Rystad Energy senior analyst David Dixon on LinkedIn.

The Victorian government in Australia has formally declared five onshore REZ and a dedicated shoreline zone for offshore wind infrastructure.
