This week, we talk with French renewable energy developer Neoen about the performance of its Tesla big battery at Hornsdale, the biggest in the world, after its first year of operation.
We hear from CEO Xavier Barbaro, head of development Garth Heron, and also from Paul Gleeson from Aurecon, highlighting the speed, accuracy and versatility of the battery, and the savings and enhanced grid security it has delivered.
We also talk about last week’s Smart Energy Council conference, why we shouldn’t care about Malcolm Turnbull, why we should care about NSW, the Clean Energy Council’s latest data on wind and solar investment ($20 billion on the go), and the dumb federal policies that will halt new investment.
