Australia’s home battery rebate being eaten up by systems sized at 50 kWh and above, new data shows, amid rumours that changes to the policy’s settings are afoot.

The assumption that big spinning machines are needed to keep the lights on could delay the exit of coal. Hence the need to show big grids can be run with engines off.

Australia-originated energy storage innovator clears major new milestone for its sulfur battery technology that brings it a step closer to commercialisation – and to competing with lithium-ion.

Energy systems expert Bruce Miller explains why spinning machines won’t be needed in future grid, while regional independent MP Helen Haines says developers should drop the spin and focus on community benefits.

Two Danish companies are exploring the possibility of integrating offshore wind with marine electrification – essentially, charging infrastructure for battery powered vessels at sea.

Alarmist headlines in mainstream media over Victoria’s energy transition bare little resemblance to the auditor general report they said they were quoting.

Renewable energy neighbours are worried about being on the hook for damage, and now the energy czar wants to put those fears to bed.

A four hour big battery proposed for next to a key connection point linking the Victoria and South Australia grids has been waved through the federal environmental assessment process.

New report argues any renewables project backed by the federal government should have to clearly demonstrate community benefits.

Neighbour and community benefits at a wind project first proposed more than a decade ago have been lifted, and compare well with other recent offers.

Australia will likely energise more than 10 GW of new capacity for the first time in 2025 – including rooftop PV. But the signs are less good for wind.

Maverick solar innovator confirms largest order yet, 138 MW, for massive hybrid renewables and battery project that will help power giant gold mine.

As home solar and battery uptake grows and grid electricity use declines, questions are arising around how networks can recover their costs. Increasing fixed charges is not the answer.

Australia’s main grid reached 50% renewables for second month in a row, but in W.A. – the world’s biggest isolated grid – the result was even better.

GoodWe’s Dean Williamson gives an insider’s view of the home battery boom, talks new products, and sends brand growth through to the keeper. Plus news of the week.

Sydney based steel company tests “sustainable” steel made from 100% scrap it hopes can deliver major savings in materials and emissions for wind turbines installed in Australia.

More renewables will bring prices down, a slower transition will send them up, the AEMC says in a blunt reminder for those still keen sweating coal and going harder on gas.

EV sales bounce back in November, with Tesla regaining top spot, and the new Zeekr 7X and the BYD Atto 2 making a big splash.

Exclusivity deal signed for massive gas and energy storage hub that promises to host Australia’s biggest eight-hour battery, sized at more than 6,000 MWh.

New data centres will be expected to bring their own renewable and battery supply, and AEMO says they must follow strict rules that will help the grid, not break it.

A new 1.5 gigawatt project, backed and hosted by local farmers who held a tender for the facility, has hit the EPBC queue with a big battery in tow.

Federal energy minister confirms talks to keep Australia’s biggest aluminium smelter afloat with supply of firmed renewables, potentially backed by Snowy and CEFC.

Justice and Equity Centre’s Craig Memery warns renters, shift workers and anyone who can’t move their energy use to the middle of the day could end up subsidising those who can.

Gas power’s business model is disappearing. Solar has cut into daytime operation. Batteries are starting to take the rest. And that’s bad news for Australian LNG.

A 400 MW peaking gas project, already delayed by two years, needed revenue guarantees from state owned utility and will need to go back into the EPBC queue.

The “blackout” headlines from AEMO’s transition report were predictable. But the big question is over what actions are taken now to protect heartbeat of the grid.
