Renew Economy reports that the result of the state election in South Australia is a positive sign for renewable energies. Our three leading states for renewables also happen to come under little to no influence from fossil fuel concerns. Jay Weatherill’s Labor government in Adelaide and and Mike Hodgman’s team in Tasmania are both in […]
Depending on your energy habits, most solar power customers have two options; install a grid-connect system or a grid-connected system with a battery backup. The second option is not new to the market but has only recently become feasible with reduced energy storage costs. A report from Solar Business predicts storage will reinvent the electricity […]
While still supporting the renewable energy target, Clive Palmer has clarified his comments regarding the scheme and subtly re-positioned his party’s policy. While clearly stating that the RET review was a waste of tax payer money and that incentives for individuals should remain in place, he now claims the mandatory target of 41,000 GWh by 2020 […]
The future of renewable energy has been given a helping hand from a most unlikely source. With the Western Australian senate elections coming up, the Palmer United Party has clearly stated that the legislation of the renewable energy target must remain untouched. It’s a comforting sign considering that “micro-parties” that collect only a small percentage […]
At the end of 2013 we published some infographics highlighting our achievements over the year. One of the objectives was to give a real-world indication of the benefit to the environment we were making by distributing solar power. They were a simple way to illustrate that our work a benefit to the environment beyond reducing […]
Australia’s solar industry awaits the government’s review of the renewable energy target, with a result expected in July this year. Much (perhaps too much) was made of the selection of the review board members, along with the statements from Prime Minister Tony Abbott suggesting renewables were not high on his list of priorities. The Australian […]
A report by the Australia Institute (TAI) titled Fracking the Future has attempted to dispel some of the myths surrounding coal seam gas mining, and concludes not enough research into the long-term health affects resulting from fracking has been conducted. The Guardian reports that former Independent Minister Tony Windsor will released to report to parliament today, […]
Small-scale technology certificates (STCs) are the key component of solar subsidies, the very mechanism by which customers receive discounts when buying a solar power system. With the vast amount of certificates being created and traded, non-binding estimates are made on the expected target to avoid unexpected disruptions to the solar certificate market. The Clean Energy Regulator […]
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has lashed out at climate change deniers, offering his support to those reporting the facts about climate change and dismissing the claims of conspiracy theorists. “There’s an important difference between tackling the misinformation peddled by climate change deniers, and stooping to their level,” said Shorten. Seemingly fueled by Bernie Fraser’s speech […]
Vassilios Agelidis, director of the Australian energy Research Institute at UNSW, writes in his column for Business Spectator why the current funding for large-scale solar projects is a huge benefit for the country’s energy needs. Two current large-scale solar projects that received funding from the government (Nyngan and Broken Hill) are mentioned, suggesting these are […]
