Renewables & Batteries offer Australia the same energy security as coal, research finds!

The research, commissioned by the Australia Institute thinktank, found clean technologies provided the fast frequency response service and voltage control needed to secure the energy grid and reduce cost. Batteries can deliver far more system security than a coal generator of the same power capacity. But the report says regulatory barriers currently limit the ability of renewable energy and batteries to provide system security.

Renewables to be at the forefront of the recovery from Covid-19!

Even though the renewable energy industry has been slowed-down with numerous challenges, what hasn't changed is the need to reduce emissions. Thus, through embracing a renewables-led economic recovery, we can generate thousands of new jobs, empower consumers, revitalize regional economies, lower power prices and create the foundation for a future with Australia as a global clean energy superpower.

Renewables to drive a clean recovery from Covid-19 While covid-19 will cause a lot of short-term pain, it presents us with a unique opportunity to accelerate the clean energy transition.
