The Australian Electricity Market Operator (AEMO) has indicated that Australia has seen the addition of 1.2GW of new large-scale solar projects brought online and connected to the National Electricity Market (NEM) in the past 12 months.

Australian transmission system operator Transgrid has signalled in a new report that remote inland renewable energy zones (REZ) could provide an additional renewable energy source, such as solar PV, in the mid-2030s.

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) is set to integrate new rules surrounding consumer energy resources (CER) to exercise greater control over their use, aiding solar PV’s role in the electricity mix.

A new report released by the Australian think tank Race for 2030 has called on the Federal government to provide additional investment and incentives to support consumer energy, such as solar PV, and its role in a decarbonised society.

AEMO has confirmed that demand in South Australia and Victoria hit a historic low, as solar PV achieves winter record levels on NEM and SWIS.

Acen Australia has submitted assessment documents for its 600MW Birriwa solar-plus-storage in New South Wales (NSW).

Public policy think tank the Australia Institute has released new research arguing that reconfiguring off-peak hot water systems could mitigate 4,000GWh of curtailed solar PV and wind energy on the National Electricity Market (NEM).

ARENA has provided AUS$15 million in funding to AEMO to enhance the operational capacity of the National Energy Market (NEM), aiding solar.

AEMO says projects seeking to connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM) in Australia rose to 43GW in June 2024, a 43% increase YoY.

Ark Energy, a renewable energy developer, has submitted a development application for a 500MW solar-plus-storage project in Myrtle Creek, in north New South Wales, Australia.
