The 360MW Mortlake solar-plus-storage project in Victoria, Australia, is the latest large-scale renewable energy project to be fast-tracked for development by the state government.
Renewable energy developer Frontier Energy has halted developing its 120MW solar-plus-storage project in Western Australia after it missed out on Reserve Capacity Credits (RCCs) from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
The Australian government revealed yesterday (30 September) additional funding for Queensland’s Local Renewable Energy Zones (LREZ), which will increase each zone's solar PV capacity to 16.2MW.
In Western Australia’s Gascoyne region, Exmouth will run on 80% solar PV-derived renewable energy via a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) between Pacific Energy and Horizon Power, the state’s energy provider.
