Fortescue has announced plans to build a 1.8GW renewable energy portfolio, with a 4-5GWh of batteries, in Western Australia.

Accelerating solar deployment and electrification offers Australia's most effective defence against volatile global energy markets, according to a new Climate Council report released.

Bellevue Gold has reported that approximately 90% of its electricity demand at its Western Australian gold mine was met by renewable energy in March 2026.

South Australia has opened applications for renewable energy feasibility licences across more than 11,000 square kilometres of land with some of the state's highest coincident wind and solar resources.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed the world's first comprehensive map of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for solar modules.

Australia's utility-scale solar PV and wind assets generated a combined 4.7TWh in March 2026, according to data from Rystad Energy.
