Most studies on climate mitigation have greatly underestimated the potential of solar power.

No-one wants to invest in new baseload power. It makes no economic, or environmental sense. Deep down, Malcolm Turnbull understands this, but does he have the courage of his convictions, if that is what they were, to overcome the nonsense from the conservative ideologues?

Report says WA's Pilbara must first establish local solar industry if it wants to offer Indonesia competitive rates on PV generation.

AGL tells customers of its ground-breaking "virtual power plant" in Adelaide that their installation will be delayed while it reviews its technology choices for the program.

AER's proposed demand management incentive scheme that could deliver flexible capacity equivalent to equal half the now closed Hazelwood power generator.

Queensland's 400MW reverse auction for renewables and energy storage has been flooded with interest.

The IEA energy statistics underestimates the role of wind and solar in the world’s energy mix - by a factor of three. Here's why.

Vector will be expanding its energy storage options for residential, industrial, and commercial customers, starting with LG Chem’s battery storage products.

Specialist power and water consulting firm Entura has been appointed by Delta Electricity to provide engineering services to support the development of the proposed Vales Point power station solar farm.

Tesla and LG Chem are leading the battery storage market in terms of brand recognition, but the issue of quality throws up some other names.

Green Energy Markets Renewable Energy Index shows an industry delivering on its promise: fulfilling a large and growing part of Australia's energy needs while also providing meaningful employment.

Victoria "hybrid" contract for its 650MW large scale renewable energy action, combining fixed payment with "contract for difference" that will cap its exposure.

NSW talks a good talk on renewable energy but offers few actions. Its share of new renewables is far smaller than its share of electricity consumption and this is particularly marked in PV, yet Transgrid sees huge opportunities.

South Australia seeks bids for "next generation" of renewable energy technologies, including "firming" capacity for wind and solar projects, bulk energy storage, and bio-energy.
