New South Wales, Australia's most coal-dependent state, will transition from 40% to 90% renewable energy by 2035, according to grid operator Transgrid's latest planning report.
July 2025, the peak of the Australian winter season, saw generation from utility-scale and rooftop solar increase by 12.78% year-on-year in the National Electricity Market (NEM).
With global climate change leading to frequent extreme weather events, the safety of solar plants and the associated stable income of customers has become a serious concern for the industry at large.
