April 2026 delivered a continuation of Australia's seasonal solar contraction as the NEM moved deeper into autumn.

Australia's surging solar adoption has driven battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the National Electricity Market (NEM) to more than triple their daytime-to-evening energy shifting in the first quarter of 2026, according to AEMO's latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics report.

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

In our latest article in the NEM Data Spotlight Series, we observe that March saw declines in both utility-scale and rooftop solar.

The AEMC has released draft technical standards requiring large data centres to remain connected during grid faults.

Feb 2026 NEM solar generation fell 19.7% from January while pricing volatility hit extremes, with rooftop solar spiking to AU$457.91/MWh.

Construction has officially commenced on the Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone in Australia's New South Wales.

Australian coalition warns data centres: build own renewables or face backlash. Demand to surge from 3TWh to 30TWh by 2035.

Utility-scale solar and wind curtailment in Australia’s NEM reached a record high of over 7TWh in 2025, according to analyst Rystad Energy.
