Latrobe Valley Battery Energy Storage System insights: >>>> Great to have this snapshot into the progress on the Latrobe Valley Battery Energy Storage System. Great to see this essential part of the energy system progressing for 2025 completion! BZE's research has shown that an Australian #battery manufacturing industry could create over 44,000 jobs and $57 billion in GDP in 2035 nationwide (https://lnkd.in/gK4SB38T).

🪫 Exciting Battery Energy Storage project nearing completion in Victoria. Most excitingly the project is being delivered by Australian company Tilt Renewables in the Latrobe Valley in partnership with Fluence and AusNet. 🔋 As projects like these roll out across the country, imagine if the batteries included local content, or better were manufactured right here in Australia. Australia is the only country in the world which has all the minerals required to make batteries, inverters, and relevant components. With our skilled workforce, we can turn this into a niche battery market, growing from a ‘dig and ship’ approach to a ‘mine and make’ nation - mining and refining lithium and other minerals, then manufacturing batteries onshore. 💥 This could create 44,000 jobs and $57 billion in GDP in 2035. Read our latest battery supply chains research (https://lnkd.in/diDBFcx7) and check out the Australian businesses already signed on to make this happen in our Cleantech Showcase (https://lnkd.in/g7xgFfTh). These were recently launched at Parliament House with Parliamentary Friends of Clean Investment. Senator Andrew Bragg Tim Read MP Helen Haines Bridget McKenzie David V. Karen Grogan David Pocock

Thanks for sharing, renewable energy is an essential sustainable environmental call of today.

We close on Crowdcube tomorrow having raised an incredible amount - and counting - from over 350 investors. This is both thrilling and humbling and we’re still welcoming new shareholders by the minute. Every investment made brings us closer to rolling out our innovative tidal solution. Our initial target was to finalise the build of our 50kw fully submerged and nature friendly SW2 turbine. With additional funds, we’re working towards a demonstration project on the Scottish coast. The project is already agreed, with the site assessment completed and key planning permissions in place. Raising additional investment beyond our current £338k, will bring us closer to executing this - and to commercialisation. We have EIS in place, and as of yesterday, we’re now also able to welcome investors from the EU. Please note if you don’t have a Crowdcube account, you must register today to be able to invest tomorrow, due to their 24 hour cooling off period for new accounts. Joining Flex Marine Power is an opportunity, we believe, to make a tangible difference in the world, as well as being a smart investment decision based on innovative technology and a sound business model from a highly experienced team. We’re ready for the next pivotal step, but you have the power to get us there. David Mummery is here for questions until tomorrow. We hope you’ll join us in bringing the new wave of tidal energy to the market. https://lnkd.in/dFNf4ZRZ Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. #tidalenergy #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #sustainability #sustainableinvestment #crowdfunding #EIS #investment #raising #renewables #ESG

We're committed to supporting regional communities as they seize opportunities presented by global decarbonisation. The Regional Economic Futures Fund (REFF) is a key initiative in this effort, providing assistance to communities as they embrace new industries and opportunities. Regions funded by REFF include communities with coal-fired power stations and mines and those that have unique opportunities to support new industries like critical minerals, renewable energy, hydrogen and biofuels The fund is designed to invest in projects that create jobs, strengthen supply chains and drive economic diversification. By supporting innovative projects and initiatives, the REFF is empowering communities to build a more resilient and prosperous future. REFF is open to a broad range of projects that will benefit regional communities. This could include projects that create new jobs in emerging industries, initiatives that strengthen local supply chains, and infrastructure and programs that support skills development and training. By investing in these areas, the fund is helping to create a more diversified and sustainable economy across regional Queensland. By working together with communities, we can ensure that everyone thrives as they transition to clean energy.
