New Zealand solar PV developer Lodestone Energy has energised its largest solar power plant to date: the 42MW Te Herenga o Te Rā site in the Bay of Plenty, a large bight on New Zealand’s northern island.
Power and communications infrastructure provider GenusPlus Group has been awarded a contract to develop the proposed Clean Energy Link – North Region project set to expand Western Australia’s South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
Australia’s Essential Services Commission (ESC) proposes dropping the minimum flat feed-in tariff for solar PV to AU$0.04/kWh from 1 July 2025-26, down from the current AU$3.3/kWh in 2024-25.
The deployment of grid infrastructure and energy storage is a key element to avoid delaying global energy transition, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
