Climate authority gives green light for boom in big renewables
The Climate Change Authority says the 41,000GWh target for large-scale renewables should remain – paving the way for a massive build-out of wind farms, and eventually solar farms. But the CCA has fiddled with the rooftop solar component, and that could be bad news for commercial scale solar PV.

Renewables – they’re green and clean, but what’s the cost?
It seems everyone is in agreement about the market impact of renewables and their effect on fossil fuels – they lower wholesale market prices and put coal and gas plants out of business. Where opinion differs is on whether this is a good thing for the industry and consumers, or a bad thing. As a cricketer would observe, it’s a spinner’s wicket.
