The latest Carbon Market Data Report from the Clean Energy Regulator reaffirms what a successful year renewable energy had in Australia in the earlier year. That said, we can look forward to the same, if not better, progress for this coming year.
The Carbon Market Data Report back in December 2020, which was released yesterday, notes that 7 gigawatts of reinforced renewable energy potential were installed across Australia, significantly exceeding the Regulator’s initial estimate of 6.3GW.
The Potential in Small-scale Renewable Solar Energy
Three gigawatts of capacity were installed last year through the …

A massive machine has begun carving its way through the earth of the Snowy Mountains, forming a massive tunnel for one of the world’s largest hydro energy pumping storage systems. The Snowy Hydro 2.0 arrangement is so audacious that legislators may be legally obligated to pose for photo ops wearing two hard hats.
The project will construct massive turbines capable of supplying 2 gigawatts of electricity deep underground. Only two existing Australian renewable energy stations are capable of providing additional capacity.
Snowy Hydro 2.0 will collect enough energy that it will theoretically be able to provide two …

Expanding on the property of the Darwin International Airport site, which is already a whopping 300 hectares, is already impressive when it comes to solar potential. This approach will be done with additional solar panels to appear on rooftops. That said, a total of 4MW of additional solar energy will be added to these areas:

Bunnings
Cold Storage Facility
Southern Osgood Business Park
Main Airport terminals, including the parking area

DIA, which is owned, operated, and managed by the Airport Development Group already has a solar photovoltaic capacity of 6 megawatts. At the first stage…

MPower recently has connected two of their five-megawatt tower solar farms in Australia, both of which are in the southern part of the state.
A 5MW solar plant on the same day it was announced that is made in connection with a project at the southern part of South Australia’s Mid North regions. This was specifically done as part of the powerplant commissioning that began in the preceding month. Moreover, it came with an expectation that it promises to produce outputs with full capacity over the next several weeks
Today, the MPower firm has said that it has tied a new 5MW solar project in Kadina on the Yorke Peninsula in…

A few years ago in Australia, fans were looking forward to an imminent launch of the roofs of Tesla solar panels. Elon Musk was keen that there would be a launch, the main speculation was that if these Tesla solar roof tiles will ever be in Australia.
Until now, the response has been — no, we cannot! However, there happens to be some good news for fans of the Tesla technology, and some bad news for those who value for money. These solar roofs from Tesla will commence installation on the 1st of July, after years of delay. They are currently accepting reservations. Unfortunately, they’re prohibitively expensive.
This …

The government partnered with solar companies in Western Australia to seek feedback on the current state of their clean energy journey using photovoltaic approaches.
It will be done using a survey, which is being conducted by the Building Energy and the Mining Department Division, alongside the Industry Regulation Bureau for Safety. This was viewed as an effective method to gain a better comprehension of how the community responds to the transition and how the solar industry can improve upon its systems.
Moreover, the survey covers nine essential questions that can give the administration an overhead view of the renewable …

We have known solar power to be promising and beneficial. That said, the Tasmanian Labor Union is now campaigning for renewable energy in order to win voters at the polls for the coming election. Just recently, they have decided to announce their plans over a publicly addressed discussion.
Better Energy Production
Tasmania has done quite well with renewable energy under the present government. In fact, they have outdone themselves by reaching a 100% success rate last year. However, a large portion of that is due to Hydrothermal and Wind energy.
Solar and Photovoltaic energy is still the underdog in this game, and …

The federal government, especially that of South Australia, has officially signed an agreement aimed at reducing emissions and energy costs. This project amounts to a billion dollars in funding.
The Commonwealth states that they will contribute around $600 million under the aforementioned deal. On the other hand, the South Australian government will offer up to $400  to upgrade the resources needed for this project. Regarding the contents of the package, details are still unclear, but here are the category samples of what was included in this project.
Moving Towards a Gas-led Recovery
In this category sample, we …
