Australia’s Victoria government has proposed seven REZ for the state, emphasising these will help achieve its target of 2.7GW of utility-scale solar PV generation by 2040.

The investments will protect the grid from the increasing threat of extreme weather and expand grid capacity as demand grows, the DOE said.

Victoria-based electricity distribution company Powercor has been granted a new transmission licence to connect large-scale solar PV, wind generation, and battery energy storage, in Australia's southern state.

The Western Australian government has launched an expressions of interest (EOI) to help fund major transmission projects in the Pilbara region, unlocking capacity to develop large-scale renewable energy generation projects such as solar PV.

The Energy Corporation of New South Wales (EnergyCo) has obtained Commonwealth planning approval for Australia’s first Renewable Energy Zone (REZ): Central-West Orana.

The NSW government has declared six renewable energy projects, one solar and three PHES sites, as “critical” for the Australian economy.

New South Wales, Australia, has received planning approval for the Central-West Orana REZ transmission project.

The largest solar-plus-storage project in the Southern Hemisphere explains South Africa's effort to mitigate its energy security situation.

US renewable developer energyRe has raised US$1.2 billion for a number of projects, including solar-plus-storage and transmission work.

Over 2TW of electricity generation and storage developments were waiting in queues for grid interconnection in April 2023.
