In December 2024, Australian utility-scale solar PV and wind assets generated 4,551GWh for the month. David Dixon, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy, stated that New South Wales was the best-performing state.
Located in the northern department of Atlantic, Enel started construction of two solar PV projects, the Guayepo III and Atlántico, with 200MW and 199.5MW of capacity, respectively.
The Australian government has commenced a review of the National Electricity Market (NEM) to identify how it will operate in the coming decades and facilitate the uptake of solar PV.
The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has said that a delay in new renewable energy and energy storage capacity coming online on the National Electricity Market (NEM) in 2023-24 means the grid will reach 6.4GW at full capacity next year.
Recurrent Energy, the renewables developer arm of solar manufacturer Canadian Solar, has reached commercial operation of its 100MW solar PV project in Texas, US.
