If Australia does not want to lose its international competitiveness as a renewables producer, the government will have to invest AU$100 billion (US$64 billion) in the next ten years, according to the sector's trade body the Clean Energy Council.

Australia’s rooftop and grid-scale solar contributed to the majority of the total electricity supply in the national electricity market on 17 September, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

AEMO Services has received bids for 3.1GW of power generation in the state of New South Wales, more than three times the target of 950MW.

Increased solar PV and wind generation contributed to lower wholesale electricity prices in Australia in Q2 2023, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).

Three renewables generation projects amounting to a collective 1.395GW have been awarded approvals in New South Wales’ most recent renewable energy tender, alongside a large battery energy storage system (BESS).

According to AEMO, Australia will need to install more than 10,000 kilometres of new transmission to connect consumers with renewable energy.

Q4 2022 saw a marked uptick in renewable energy investment in Australia, and a 17% total bump in year-on-year investment was recorded compared with 2021. Despite this, more is needed to reach the country’s Renewable Energy Targets according to the Australian Clean Energy Council.  

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has released its roadmap to reaching 100% renewable generation in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) by 2025.

The Australian Energy Market Operator has restored wholesale market in all regions of Australia after suspending it more than a week ago.

Australia’s new Labor government has raised the country’s 2030 emissions reduction target as it vowed to support the transition to renewables by investing in transmission infrastructure and energy storage.
