A capacity mechanism for Australia’s National Electricity Market needs to catalyse investment in renewable energy and energy storage.

The government of Victoria, Australia, has opened a round of funding for ‘neighbourhood-scale’ battery storage.

Novel project in development in Australia combining CSP, molten silicon thermal storage, solar PV and grid-scale BESS appears to be revived.

Western Australia will retire its two state-owned coal power plants by 2030 and invest in renewable energy and energy storage.

Australian renewable energy developer Edify Energy has secured project financing for three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in New South Wales totalling 150MW/300MWh.

Australia’s first new large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant in nearly 40 years is being built in Queensland and the state’s government is now exploring options for more.

New South Wales’s single biggest ever investment in infrastructure will go towards enabling renewable energy additions across its networks.

How a deployment target scheme could transform the economics of storage in Australia and help the government fulfil its promises to voters.

An energy storage target policy could be an effective way for Australia’s new government to follow through on decarbonisation promises.

Alongside its many benefits, growing deployments of energy storage will pose complex challenges around availability of data and resource planning for grid and distribution network operators.
