French independent power producer (IPP) Neoen Australia has confirmed that its 440MW Culcairn solar PV power plant in New South Wales has entered the commissioning phase.

A new report has claimed that creating a Sydney renewable energy zone (REZ) in New South Wales, Australia, could generate up to 21GW of renewable energy from rooftop solar PV.

Australia's NSW government has proposed developing the state’s first urban REZ in Illawarra, which could be delivered as early as 2030.

Octopus Australia has received grid connection approval from AEMO for a 300MW solar-plus-storage site in New South Wales.

Swedish solar developer OX2 has received development consent from the New South Wales government in Australia for a 90MW solar-plus-storage project.

7.15 GW of renewables and energy storage projects have been granted access rights to connect to Australia's first REZ.

Research firm Rystad Energy has revealed that the top five utility solar PV plants in terms of AC capacity factor in April were all located in Queensland.

AEMO said that new renewable energy generation and energy storage projects in the final commissioning phase in the NEM have reached 7GW.

April 2025 saw solar PV generation, both rooftop and utility-scale, decrease marginally month-on-month in Australia’s NEM by almost 11%.

Vena Energy has started constructing a 320MW solar PV expansion in Queensland’s Western Downs region in Australia.
