Grids

Reforms to the UK’s grid connection process for renewable energy projects are underway, aimed at easing the logjam of applications.

The AEMC has released a draft rule to modernise distribution network planning in response to the rapid uptake of CERs.

US-based forecasting company Amperon has launched a new AI-based short-term probabilistic forecasting tool for solar and wind generation assets.

The 31MW Mulwala Solar Farm in New South Wales has been registered in the Australian Energy Market Operator's Market Management System (MMS).

According to Ember's Global Electricity Review 2026, renewables accounted for 33.8% of global power generation in 2025.

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.
