Battery storage sites are becoming scarce, but scarcity is not driving up land prices due to limited substation capacity. Solar projects offer long-term annuities through land leases, with prices varying based on project size.

Nextracker partners with Bluescope to manufacture solar tracker components in Australia, reducing carbon footprint and supporting local jobs.

Gold Fields invests $296 million in wind and solar power at St Ives mine, reducing gas-fueled power bill by two-thirds.

In 2023, rooftop solar and large-scale batteries drove Australia’s energy transition, with a record 5.9GW of new renewable capacity added.

Germany’s renewable energy share reached 22% in 2023, driven by solar, wind, and heating systems. Wind power alone surpassed lignite and hard coal production, while biomass remained dominant in renewable heating. Investments in renewables surged to €36.6 billion, saving 250 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

ANSTO’s Synchrotron facility installs a 1.59 MW rooftop solar system, saving $2 million annually and reducing its carbon footprint by 1,680 tonnes.
