Rooftop solar records continue to tumble, as sunny Spring sets new high for Australia’s main grid

Sunny spring weather has produced a “remarkable sequence” of renewable energy records over the past five days, including a new output high for the National Electricity Market.
South Australia won’t reach its 100 pct net renewables target on schedule, but it won’t be the fault of households

South Australia won’t reach its 100 pct net renewables target on schedule, but it won’t be the fault of households

South Australia energy minister hints that the 100 pct net renewables target may not be reached by 2027 as planned. At least households are getting on with the transition.
