transmission infrastructure

The development of India’s power transmission network is lagging behind the country’s rapid growth in renewable energy, leading to project delays and cost increases

Australia’s transmission line infrastructure project HumeLink is now open for connection to solar, wind, and energy storage facilities.

Two major transmission infrastructure projects have progressed in Western Australia and New South Wales, in a win for renewables.

Australia’s Queensland government has confirmed an AU$2.4 billion investment in the CopperString transmission project, aiming to extend the National Electricity Market (NEM) to the North West Minerals Province.

Solar PV growth is expected to slow down in Brazil and Chile due to ongoing issues of curtailment and transmission infrastructure.

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.

Australian think tank Climate Energy Finance (CEF) has signaled that the mineral-rich region of Pilbara, Western Australia, needs rapid investment in its transmission network to ensure renewable energy, such as solar, can help drive decarbonisation.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has invested US$2.2 billion in the grid across eight projects covering 18 states.

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).
