The New South Wales government in Australia is investing AU$3 million (US$2.1 million) to scope new solar-plus-storage-powered microgrid projects across four remote communities in the state’s Far West.
Blueleaf Energy and Universal Peak have closed financing for a 100MW/400MWh battery storage project, which was one of four winning bids in a Malaysian government tender.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has confirmed the installation of the 100th community battery storage system under its Community Batteries Funding Initiative.
