Energy-Storage.news Premium speaks to one of the chief architects of the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), aimed at breaking down barriers to investment and deployment in Australia’s renewable energy and storage sectors.

Rachel Rundle of Eku Energy speaks to Energy-Storage.news Premium about the developer’s growing pipeline of battery projects in Australia.

The former prime minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, delivered a keynote speech to open the second day of the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2024.

There is “no shortage of investor appetite” and policy support is in place, but there are still some barriers to energy storage deployment on the scale needed to decarbonise Australia’s energy sector.

The Australian federal government’s 2024-2025 budget includes a major investment in clean energy manufacturing and an energy bill rebate for households.

Australia’s energy storage sector has seen trio of significant announcements around major battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.

Australia’s battery storage market had a record-breaking year in 2023 across utility-scale, residential, and commercial and industrial (C&I) segments.

A new grid-scale battery storage development platform has launched in Australia with Oliver Yates, former CEO of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), as its chairman.  

Australia runs a great risk of failing to meet its ambitious but achievable renewable energy goals, writes Stephanie Bashir, CEO of Nexa Advisory, who explains why utility-scale energy storage is among the crucial tools in the country’s energy transition toolkit.

The Australian government has announced that the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) South Australia-Victoria tender is now open for bids.
