Australia needs renewable energy fast – but building it is only half the battle
Australia’s energy transition has never been more urgent. Ageing coal-fired power stations are retiring and energy bills are rising sharply. To address this, the obvious solution is to build more renewable energy projects and the transmission infrastructure to connect them at scale. But a major hurdle remains: community opposition.

Victoria now has blueprint to close solar divide. Here’s where to start
Australia’s home energy boom is real, but it is not evenly shared. The rooftop solar and government-subsidised batteries going up at record pace are landing almost entirely on freestanding houses. Own one, and you are steadily cutting your bills by running on your own homegrown energy after dark. Live in an apartment, and you are mostly still paying full price to the grid.

Missing line in home battery retrofit quotes: what happens to existing solar?
For a homeowner who already has rooftop solar, adding a battery is not simply a matter of choosing a number of kilowatt-hours and fixing another box to the wall. The existing panels, solar inverter, meter arrangement, phase configuration and network settings are already part of an operating energy system. A battery proposal needs to explain how the new equipment will work with that system.
