Renewable Energy News

At least half of Australia’s power should be delivered by renewable energy such as solar, wind and hydro by 2030, the Clean Energy Council said today when releasing its policy directives for the upcoming federal election.

Labor has promised to deliver 7GW of new renewable energy in NSW by 2030 if it wins government at the state election in March. A Daley Labor government will deliver the guarantees through a series of reverse auctions, to push the price of new-build renewable energy down and reduce the cost of electricity.

As clean energy generation replaces the polluting varieties, it’s tempting to race ahead and see how fast the world can get to the finish line. In Australia we are hobbled by the murky vision of certain federal politicians, sure, but that hasn’t stopped homeowners, businesses and state governments from powering ahead.

SA Water has awarded a framework agreement contract for up to $304 million to South Australian company Enerven, to deploy about 154MW of new solar generation and 34MWh of energy storage, across around 70 of its sites over the next 18 months.
