It's news like this, I would like to be excited for, as I know the area well. The region is part of my family's farming heritage and catchment district. It really disappoints me, and distresses me, that this is not a major Agri-Solar venture. Why hasn't this region been classed as a Ag-rich area? That renewable energy Industrialised scale facilities must be ancillary or secondary to Agricultural and Bushland land management? This is a huge missed opportunity for Victoria, and waste of such healthy soils that can support crop production and livestock farmland, with access to irrigation. The flora, fauna and wildlife destruction is devastating. < See comments for photos >. This area will now be lost, underneath a mammoth solar array, that is not contributing to our food security future. This is an urban industrial land use in a regional and rural district because it's adjacent to the interstate High Power transmission lines. As it is near the interstate highway (great farming logistics route). Engie and the Victorian Government really could, should, and need to step up their ESG/CSR regional impact responsibilities and reduce the ecosystem damage impacts, to design better outcomes for regional Victoria's land use and energy capture and conversion.

We have officially broken ground on the largest Solar Farm under construction in Victoria. Victorian Minister for Climate Action, Energy and Resources and State Electricity Commission, the Hon. Lily D'Ambrosio, joined ENGIE AU Executives and team members for a sod-turning ceremony at ENGIE’s 250 MW Goorambat East Solar Farm project. We expect construction and commissioning of Goorambat East Solar Farm to be finished in 2026, helping to advance our goal of delivering 3 GW of renewable energy in Australia by 2030. Once completed, the 250 MW solar farm could generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 105,000 average Victorian homes.  Find out more: https://lnkd.in/db7aHVNe   Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, Bouygues Construction Australia, Equans Solar & Storage, AusNet   #ENGIE #WithENGIE #Solar #RenewableEnergy 

Australia faces significant hurdles in its renewable energy journey, as the International Energy Agency's recent report highlights. The Asia Pacific region is set for a 73% increase in renewable capacity by 2028, but Australia's growth forecast has been revised down by over 10%. This is due to policy uncertainties, rising investment costs, and challenges in integrating the rapidly growing rooftop solar sector. The distributed photovoltaic (PV) segment, previously a major growth driver, is now expected to decline faster due to system saturation and grid integration issues. The IEA suggests Australia needs to urgently address grid bottlenecks, simplify lengthy permitting processes, and enhance system flexibility to reaccelerate its renewable energy growth and align with regional trends.

How the Netherlands Leads in Solar Power Generation The Netherlands has become a European leader in solar energy, with one in three homes boasting rooftop solar panels. This high adoption rate stems from innovative use of space and government policies that encourage renewable energy. Solar panels are found not just on rooftops but also on waterways and repurposed landfill sites, maximizing available space. The country's commitment to solar power is evident in projects like the Sellingen floating solar park, which helps the Netherlands hold the second most floating solar installations worldwide, just behind China. This approach has enabled solar to account for over 16.6% of the country's electricity generation, far surpassing Canada's 1.1%. Key to this success is the significant reduction in solar investment costs, making it an attractive option for property owners and businesses alike. Consistent and supportive government policies are crucial to maintaining this momentum and achieving long-term sustainability goals. #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #Netherlands #Innovation #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #EnvironmentalLeadership #SolarSolutions #Renewables #SolarFuture #SolarInnovation #EnergyEfficiency https://lnkd.in/gqmbnPgU

Last week, a new peak renewable generation record of 73.87% was reported in the National Electricity Market (NEM). Of that, 43.7% was generated from rooftop solar. Reflecting these results, over the past 7 years our customers in regional, rural, and remote NSW have nearly doubled their uptake of rooftop solar. Moving from 16.92% in 2017-18 to 32.64% in 2023-24. As more customers take the opportunity to generate green energy, they increase the potential to export excess solar power to the NEM when the sun is shining. Building the network of the future will empower communities to actively participate in the energy transition, fostering economic growth.

A few take-aways on day 1 of #EUPVSEC from our editor Benita Dreesen.    EU PVSEC 2024: Europe must develop own solar industry VIENNA, Austria – Europe’s solar market has seen a 40% growth year on year in 2023, and the industry needs to address gaps in implementation, speakers at the first panel discussion of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference said on Monday. Panellist Alessandro Barin, CEO of Futura Sun, the European PV industry needs to be #rebuilt from scratch as these past years were disastrous. “The key question is how, because copying and transporting manufacturing processes from China into the EU will not work,” Barin said. EU #subsidies play an important role in financing, but incentivizing projects to create demand and offtake is not happening, according to delegates Monday. Solar Power Europe CEO Walburga Hemetsberger said that “most of the measures are part of the Net Zero Industry Act which starts implementation in 2026. In the meantime, state aid for solar is mainly focused on capital expenditures costs, and not so much on operational costs, which creates a founding gap,” she added. Integrating flexibility into the European #electricity network could get electricity costs down by an expected 25% by 2030, delegates said.   Get in touch to access the full OPIS suite of articles, reports and data, or with Benita Dreesen for a quick discussion.   Karen Tang, Thomas Duncombe, Hanwei Wu, Colt Shaw, Brian Ng, Sakura Yamasaki, OPIS Sustainable & Renewable Energy
