Queensland’s largest green hydrogen project is on the scrap heap after state government-owned Stanwell Corporation announced its withdrawal from the international consortium developing the estimated $12.5 billion production plant and pipeline.

The feasibility of deploying floating solar systems on farm-based water storages to optimise water retention and generate renewable energy that could serve as an alternative income stream for landholders will be investigated as part of an Australian-first research project.

Alinta Energy has locked in construction of the first 250 MW / 1,000 MWh stage of a 500 MW, four-hour battery energy storage system planned for South Australia and appointed local construction firm GenusPlus Group as principal contractor.

Queensland battery technology developer Li-S Energy has signed a supply and testing agreement with an unnamed defence technology company, targeting integration of lithium-sulfur battery solutions into advanced military and security systems.

In the recent Australian election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party returned to power with a key campaign promise for a national rebate on home battery systems. This is an important and necessary step in the country’s transition to a cleaner, smarter energy future, but for those of us working on vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G) like JET Charge, there’s a question that naturally follows: what does this mean for V2G uptake?

The Australian residential battery market is heating up — and beneath the surface, a new set of performance metrics is emerging as decisive for brand success. While some manufacturers chase short-term growth by dropping prices, the real battle for sustainable market share is being fought on deeper metrics: share of installer adoption, share of installer portfolio, and customer loyalty.

Australian solar cell developer Halocell Energy has launched its first perovskite-based product line with the flexible Ambient Modules series purpose-built for low-light conditions.

As Australia’s distribution network service providers grapple with challenges sparked by the rise of distributed energy resources, EA Technology says leveraging insights from grid-edge intelligence can unleash the full potential of their networks.

Solar manufacturers are pursuing the next-generation crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV cell technology. Back-contact (xBC) technologies including TOPCon back-contact (TBC), HJT back-contact (HBC), and HJT TOPCon back-contact (HTBC) have emerged as leading candidates, attracting attention for their superior conversion efficiency and aesthetic module designs.

The New Zealand government will provide a local council with more than $14 million in funding to help build a 2 MW solar farm and 4 MWh battery energy storage system to reduce the community’s current reliance on diesel generators for power.
