EPBC waves through proposed wind farm on the proviso that its up to 110 turbines spin high enough off the ground to minimise the risk to local black cockatoos.
Planning hurdles are still regarded as the Achilles heel of renewables developments, despite a big fall in wait times for wind projects in Australia's biggest state grid.
One of the biggest batteries in Australia's main grid reaches full output, as its owner's owner seeks buyer for its entire portfolio.
Australia will have a globally competitive electricity price in a no-coal world. It just needs a lot more wind.
Three Australian companies have helped deliver the last of the foundations of the only wind farm under construction in NSW – and in turn, the wind farm has breathed new life into local manufacturing.
Worth a short note to link to this consultation paper from the AEMO re the proposed ‘Development of a staged delivery path (with respect to IPRR)’ … which was published yesterday (Monday 1st June 2026).
Innovation for wind turbine footings could slash wind farm concrete use and cut construction time by about 20 weeks. It just needs a developer game enough to give it a go.
Australia spent more than a decade thinking about how it could increase the supply of renewable energy in the grid to displace our reliance on fossil fuel electricity.
Developers are now adding batteries into their plans for wind projects, and manufacturers are beginning to come to the party with longer warranties.
Network weighs its options to close a gap in “ring” of transmission lines linking NSW coastal load centres with its renewable energy zones and other major upgrades and mega-projects, like Snowy 2.0.
Bruce Miller talks about why system strength is badly misunderstood. Through analogies using bridges, seeing eye dogs, and bumpy roads, he argues the industry's fixation on fault level and inertia misses the real engineering challenges of the tran...
Early planning has commenced on critical energy infrastructure solutions to meet the power demands of Australia’s fastest growing region, as coal closures in NSW combined with population growth and increased electrification of homes and businesses...
BHP once represented scale and an ability to shape the future. Now it acts as if smaller: a company hesitating while others show that diesel is a transition fuel, not a destination.
After two years of consultation with communities, First Nations, farmers and other stakeholders, the Victorian government has formally declared five onshore renewable energy zones, plus one offshore.
State formally declares five onshore renewable energy zones and one “shoreline” REZ, to guide its step-change to 65% renewable by 2030 and 95% by 2035.
Big batteries scoop the pool and sideline gas in "firming tender" designed to secure supply at times of system stress as state moves to 100 per cent net renewables.
Spanish energy giant lobs another plantation wind project into EPBC queue, highlighting the minimal impact these projects will have on highly modified sites.
Queensland’s new planning regime for large-scale renewables and battery storage remains “very messy and very complicated,” one year down the track.
For data centres, a better directive than BYO Energy would be BYONCE – Bring Your Own New Clean Energy. What we want is new renewable supply entering the market alongside new demand.
The fossil fuel crisis is driving EV uptake and more electrification. And some suggest it could be a smarter tool for monetary policy than jacking up interest rates.
