Potentia Energy has completed the development of its 93MW Girgarre solar PV power plant in Victoria, Australia.

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.

Developer Elgin Energy has secured grid connection approval from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for a 150MW solar-plus-storage site in Victoria.

AEMO said that new renewable energy generation and energy storage projects in the final commissioning phase in the NEM have reached 7GW.

April 2025 saw solar PV generation, both rooftop and utility-scale, decrease marginally month-on-month in Australia’s NEM by almost 11%.

Spanish inverter manufacturer Ingeteam has secured a contract from Danish developer European Energy to supply its technology to two solar PV power plants in Australia, totalling an installed generation capacity of 137MW.

Octopus Australia has completed financial close and started construction on its 80MW Fulham solar-plus-storage project in Victoria.

The State Electricity Commission (SEC), a state-owned energy company in Victoria, Australia, has confirmed that construction has started on the 119MW SEC Renewable Energy Park.

According to research from Rystad Energy, the 40MW Greenough River solar PV plant in Western Australia was the country's best-performing utility-scale solar asset in terms of AC capacity factor for the second month running.

Developer Elgin Energy's 330MW Barwon Solar Farm has become the latest project to be fast-tracked by the Victoria government in Australia.
