French renewables developer TE H2 has filed a government application seeking approval for a 2.7 GW solar farm and 6 GWh battery energy storage project to be built in Australia's Northern Territory.
AER flags cut in cost of electricity for households and businesses across the NEM, as wholesale power prices get the benefit of more wind and big batteries.
As rooftop solar, home batteries and EV uptake surges, networks seek regulatory change to boost flexibility, two way flows and lower costs in homes.
Jonathan Pooch from DETA Consulting on the untapped riches of energy productivity. Plus, news of the week.
CCA chair Matt Kean says regulators will need to be nimble to ensure that households get their fair share of the benefits of the battery and rooftop PV boom.
AEMC proposes suite of new rules to guide gas companies through the looming network death spiral – and protect consumers from its fallout.
Plans for a massive more than 2 gigawatt-hour battery south of Townsville have been given the federal environmental all-clear, but the state may take much longer.
With new incentives driving battery uptake, the focus is shifting to size and flexibility - and Fox ESS is betting on modular systems that can grow with household energy needs.
Regulator warns industry to brace for changes to Cheaper Home Batteries scheme, to avoid promising prices and installation dates that can't be honoured.
India added 119 GW of solar module capacity and over 9 GW of cell capacity in 2025, bringing total capacities to about 210 GW and 27 GW, respectively, according to Mercom India. Growth was driven by strong project demand and policy support, although supply-demand alignment is expected later in 2026 as domestic cell production ramps up.
China’s 2026 to 2030 policy plan elevates clean electricity as a central driver of economic growth, with greater emphasis on system integration and industrial use.
Iran is widely known for its oil and gas resources, but its strongest long-term energy asset may be the sun. New research shows how solar PV could drive a cost-competitive transition across power, heat, transport, industry, and desalination, while opening the door to a broader Solar-to-X Economy.
Researchers at TU Delft propose using 2D carbon selenide as a sodium-ion battery anode, offering a theoretical capacity of 589 mAh/g with minimal volume expansion. Computational studies confirmed the material's structural and thermal stability, as well as tunable electrochemical properties, making it a promising candidate for large-scale, renewable-linked energy storage.
Innovative solar-in-a-box design by a Melbourne startup could change the economics of farming and remote power systems.
The Chinese manufacturer said its new Nex E6000 and Nex E6000H storage systems combine a 6 kWh battery, an inverter, and an integrated energy management system, with scalable design allowing multiple units to be networked for higher capacity and coordinated energy sharing.
