Carnegie gets development approval for 10MW solar farm, with CEO saying Australia "should have lots of these."

New analysis shows clean energy target as modelled by Finkel Review will deliver less large scale renewable energy than current state-based targets.

BNEF report suggests wind and solar will fall further than Finkel Review expects, undermining case for even refurbished coal generators. The cost falls mean that Australia's current Paris targets will be met even without a clean energy target mechanism.

Last November, a Citizens' Jury rejected "under any circumstances" plans to import nuclear waste as a money-making venture. So is the dump dead?

Which ASX-listed company indirectly lobbied for the US to withdraw from the Paris Agreement? And what should investors do about it?

If the 2016 conference was lithium, lithium, lithium, the 2017 version has a more nuanced tone. Here are some of the highlights.

SA Senator Cory Bernardi has installed 12kW of solar at his family home – but will it keep the lights on?

Carnegie has been selected as the company to lead global business in achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal number 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy.

EV Council says most Australians want to buy electric vehicles, but a lack of policy support – and cars – is getting in the way.

Two days after President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate accord, Modi and Macron pledged to achieve emissions reductions beyond their nations’ commitments.

BP data shows impact of reduced coal use in emissions, including China. Australia, however, joins smaller emerging economies in lifting emissions.

Coalition may require new solar and wind farms to match each megawatt of capacity with a megawatt hour of energy storage to "level playing field" with coal.

AEMO says battery storage plans for South Australia and Victoria will be critical to prevent blackouts in extreme heat events in coming summer.

People with batteries and behind the meter devices can help the market meet demand. But are they well served by the Finkel Review?

Standards Australia guidelines may ban installations of battery storage in homes or garages, despite industry backlash against draft proposals.

Given Tesla is saying almost all of its charging stations will go off-grid, is it time to revisit out assumptions about the energy market?

The energy crisis solution must provide complementary emphasis on driving down consumption, not just on providing more generation.

Eco Energy World says approval of three new solar projects, including 280MW solar farm in Bouldercombe, bring “ready to build” portfolio to total of 570MW.

Global wind giant notes “new confidence” in Victoria market, after announcing deal to deliver 116 turbines for RES Australia’s Murra Warra wind farm.

The modelling prepared by private consultancy for Finkel Review deliberately ignores certain technologies that can provide grid security and replace coal fired generation at a much cheaper cost than gas. It also uses inflated costs for wind and solar.
