    Mild winter and abundant rooftop solar sends grid demand to record lows – just 2 MW in one state

    Energy market operator reinforces need for more flexibility, storage and transmission as electricity demand is squashed to record new lows, mainly by rooftop solar, which met 99.9 pct of supply in one state.

    New renewables and batteries improve grid reliability outlook, but more needs to get built on time, AEMO says

    Immediate threat to the reliability of Australia’s main grid has been pushed back into the next decade, provided there is the “timely delivery” of new renewables and storage.

    “Fingerprints” of grid-forming inverters to be studied to assess their ability to replace spinning machines

    UNSW is launching a study into an obscure technical part of the grid which could pave the way for a fully digital system with no reliance on spinning machines.

    Sweet spot for battery storage now 7 hours – growing to 8.5 hours – as coal exit looms

    AEMO wants future batteries to deliver 7 hours of storage to fill gaps as coal exists, and is forecasting this duration to keep climbing in the 2030s.

    Households lead march to least-cost electricity, as AEMO issues “call to arms” on renewable transition

    Bolstered by the boom in consumer resources, AEMO’s new Integrated System Plan confirms that a mix of solar, wind and storage is the best and cheapest way to replace coal and meet future demand.

    Big shortfall in wind will put Australia’s 2030 renewable target out of reach, AEMO says in latest blueprint

    Drought in large-scale wind projects is putting Australia’s renewable targets under strain, and AEMO acknowledges they may still be out of reach even with a faster rollout.

    “Banger of a highlight:” Home batteries flatten solar duck, pave way for coal exit on Australia’s biggest isolated grid

    AEMO says the outlook for Western Australia’s main electricity grid has improved since last year, thanks in part to the impact home batteries are having on peak and minimum demand.

    Big batteries caught short as worst wind drought in two years sends prices through the roof

    Australia’s main grid chalked up its worst one-day wind drought in more than two years over the weekend, catching batteries short in one state in particular.

    Frequency penalties are costing some solar farms millions, but this is the market working

    Data shows solar farms and big batteries are the biggest loser and winner following changes to who gets paid or penalised for grid instability.

    This may be one of the most important trials underway today, at least if data centres are to provide the grid services they promise.
