The discussion also addresses political energy stances from the LNP and One Nation regarding diesel and renewables.
Visy and Graphite Energy are exploring a 5MW solar-powered thermal storage system at the Tumut paper mill to reduce gas consumption by 40%. The proposed project uses graphite blocks to generate industrial steam, potentially bypassing the need for expensive new grid connections.
1414 Degrees has acquired 100% ownership of the Aurora Energy Precinct in South Australia, a site intended for development as a hybrid renewable energy and storage hub. The thermal storage firm aims to utilize the precinct to deploy its proprietary molten silicon technology alongside other renewable assets.
Swiss storage giant completes purchase of the project site for big four-hour battery, setting a tentative start-date for early 2027 construction.
Installation of the "golden" turbine is being hailed as a "huge milestone" for a wind farm that has survived the LNP government sell-off and remains 100 per cent owned by a state utility.
The world should brace for extreme heat as an exceptionally strong El Nino develops, the World Meteorological Organisation warns.
Chery reveals early specs of its upcoming Lepas L6 BEV, with the remainder to be announced at Everything Electric later this month.
The strongest alignment for a free power window-start is when Qld, Vic and NSW all start at 11am, between April and October.
Few organisations have so consistently campaigned to stymie climate action – possibly anywhere on the planet. So why is News Corp so worked up about the recent CCA report?
Electric cars account for 24.9 per cent of new vehicle sales in August and outselling petrol-only and diesel vehicles individually. Plus, news of the week.
If you’re an EV owner or driver, add your views in the latest global survey about the electric vehicle transition and what it means to you.
Electric cars account for 24.9 per cent of new vehicle sales in August and outsell petrol-only and diesel vehicles individually. Plus, news of the week.
BHP and Posco are progressing a joint study into hydrogen-based ironmaking technology to reduce carbon emissions in steel production. Separately, BP secured €76 million from the Valencian government for green hydrogen and biofuel initiatives, while Uniper concluded the initial interest phase for its proposed 2.6 million tonne annual capacity ammonia terminal in Wilhelmshaven.
Global battery storage trends show CATL reducing LFP cell prices to $56/kWh, while German infrastructure faces sabotage and non-lithium technologies like sodium-ion accelerate. Market analysis also highlights concerns regarding revenue cannibalisation as BESS deployment increases across international electricity grids.
Inox Solar Americas has signed an agreement to supply 767MW of PV modules to a US renewable energy developer and independent power producer.
Agrivoltaics account for virtually none of Switzerland’s installed solar capacity, despite having the potential to generate far more electricity than the country currently consumes.
China’s energy storage installations fell for the first time in H1 2026 to 22GW/59GWh, even as international orders for Chinese technology jumped 83%. The CNESA report highlights this domestic slowdown as the industry prepares for the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
Tesla has commenced manufacturing its Megapack 3 at a new Texas facility, introducing an updated grid-scale battery energy storage system designed to maintain market share against rising global competition. The latest iteration features hardware refinements aimed at improving deployment efficiency for utility-scale storage projects.
Levona Renewables reports that utility-scale solar development in the Texas ERCOT region is increasingly constrained by transmission infrastructure and interconnection hurdles rather than hardware availability. CEO Fernando Queiroz noted that grid-related logistics and utility procurement processes now dominate project timelines over solar module selection.
Dominion Energy and NextEra Energy shareholders have approved the previously proposed $66.8bn all-stock merger.
Equinor subsidiary East Point Energy has commissioned the Citrus Flatts battery energy storage system in Harlingen, Texas. The facility provides 100MW/200MWh of capacity to the local grid, marking a completed construction milestone for the Norwegian state-owned firm’s US portfolio.
The International Electrotechnical Commission is developing global standards to implement circular economy models for wind turbines and solar modules. These upcoming guidelines aim to extend the operational lifespan of renewable infrastructure through improved recycling and component reuse protocols.
South Korea plans to double government funding for factory rooftop solar and agrivoltaics to KRW 1.8 trillion ($1.3 billion) in 2027, as a new law regulating dual-use solar on farmland takes effect in December.
Global energy storage requirements are accelerating the development of underground technologies designed to repurpose existing industrial assets for long-duration capacity.
Southern African electricity markets are transitioning toward specialized energy products tailored to consumer and grid requirements as regional liberalization progresses. This shift marks a move away from standard variable electricity sales toward sophisticated, needs-based renewable energy offerings.
Great Basin Transmission has started construction on the Southwest Intertie Project-North (SWIP-North), a 285-mile, 500kV transmission line.
Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Cleanhill Partners have agreed to sell power electronics manufacturer EPC Power Corp to Flex.
