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.

The company said that the new facility would produce 8GW of solar modules and 2GW of cells in the Sohar free port region of Oman.

The land in question excludes natural reserves and high-value agricultural areas under “strict agricultural, environmental and technical criteria for hosting onshore wind and solar projects.”

The site will produce n-type cells to support both manufacturers’ US cell requirements, Heliene said in a public statement. Details about the timeline and scope of the project will be released “shortly”.

The Australian Energy Market Commissioner (AEMC) is proposing to enable virtual power plants (VPPs) to directly compete with large-scale generators in the energy market, which could aid solar PV’s role in decarbonising Australia.
