Australia's coal retirement timeline is creating a circular problem for renewable energy investment, a panel discussion revealed.

Australia's National Electricity Market recorded a combined 3,320GWh of solar generation in July 2026, comprising 1,448GWh from utility-scale assets and 1,872GWh from rooftop systems.

Renewables supplied 42.1% of electricity generated across Australia's NEM in the three months to June 2026, a new quarterly high for Q2.

The plan lays out a roadmap for the country’s renewable energy development for 2026–2030, centred on capacity expansion, quality improvement and reliable energy substitution.
