The rules of Australia's energy markets were written at a time when coal and gas were the only major options.

Queensland's 25MW Barcaldine solar farm has been bought by one of Europe’s leading solar infrastructure investment teams, Foresight Group.

EnergyAustralia signs third PPA in 3 months, this time a 13-year deal for all the electricity generated by Victoria's 60MW Gannawarra Solar Farm.

Origin Energy reveals its latest PPA as a 200MW project that's being built by a former coal man in Port Augusta.

China-based solar PV manufacturer Trina Solar can no longer call itself the world’s leading solar PV supplier.

Origin Energy CEO says industry investment in renewables needs clarity around Australia's emissions reduction targets.

U.S. solar market nearly doubled its annual record, topping out at 14,626 megawatts of solar PV installed in 2016.

Labor appears to have made huge backflip on renewables in effort to hide Bill Shorten's hopeless attempts to defend the policy. Instead of a fixed target, they want to lump renewables into an emission trading scheme, which is more likely to bring new wind and solar to a halt.

The report by the Australian Energy Market Operator into the rolling blackouts or load shedding in South Australia last week reveal a sorry tale of bad management, lousy forecasts, dud software and failing fossil fuel plants.

Report out of India suggests it could be completely coal free by 2050, with no need to build another coal power plant after 2025 as renewables and energy storage get cheaper.

No doubt the competition is fierce, but this could be the dumbest thing ever written by a Murdoch employee on climate change.

Fremantle-based Ecocentric Energy joins forces with CSIRO to fast-track commercialisation of "electrical fingerprint" technology.

An in depth analysis of Australia's energy challenge, and South Australia's in particular. All existing models are out of date.

The state that gave us new EPA chief Scott Pruitt and fellow climate denier James Inhofe just saw temperatures near 100ºF in the dead of winter.

What can sensibly be done to get us Australia out of its current electricity market mess? The real problem is not renewables – it’s poor governance.

The PM has a lot of solar and a lot of storage at his Point Piper home, and would need a lot more of both to go off grid. But would it be enough for the average household?

Seven principles that will help maximise the benefits of self-driving vehicles, and minimise potential negative consequences.

Falling solar costs deflate Japanese solar panel manufacturers, boost prospects for India market. China moves forward on carbon market.
