Australian renewable energy project developer Frontier Energy has identified its preferred electrolysis technology as it advances plans to produce green hydrogen powered by renewable energy sourced from the potential 500MW Bristol Springs Solar project it is developing in Western Australia.

Australian liquor supermarket chain Dan Murphy’s has continued its deployment of rooftop solar PV as parent company Endeavour Group pursues its ambition to power all the of retailer’s more than 250 stores across the country with 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

Cost efficiency while maximizing power output is the name of the game in solar project development and asset management. And the automation of the provision of utility scale solar operations and maintenance (O&M) is fast becoming one of the most compelling opportunities. Help shape the future of automation in solar O&M by completing this first-of-its kind survey.

Australia remains among the solar capitals of the world with a new report from the International Energy Agency revealing the country leads the way in PV penetration and ranks No.1 in the world for installed solar PV per capita with 990W per person.

A new solar power plant will be developed on 2,800 hectares of land near a temple in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is expected to be operational within a year.
