Kaban green power hub gives QLD’s renewables efforts a second wind

Despite its capacity to harness world-class solar and wind resources, Queensland still has the highest greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. As the state shifts towards creating affordable renewable energy, Neoen’s $373 million Kaban Green Power Hub will be instrumental in meeting clean energy targets and supporting the state’s post-COVID economic recovery.

The role of gas pipelines in Australia’s future energy system

Rob Wheals, CEO and Managing Director, APA Group, explains how pipelines have long been the backbone of Australia’s energy system, and as Australia continues on its path to a clean energy future, our existing network will have a critical role to play for decades to come. The shocks in electricity generation over winter in Victoria and Queensland were reminders of why we are so heavily reliant on gas.

And they’re off: the state race to network regions of renewables

In 2020, the Australian Energy Market Operator released its 20-year vision for the National Electricity Market (NEM). A winning move in their strategy for renewables is the state-led networking of Renewable Energy Zones – regional hotspots rich with renewable potential. Here we take a look at how these special districts of renewables could completely transform both state energy infrastructure and the NEM.

National modelling data to help electricity sector plan around climate risk

The Electricity Sector Climate Information (ESCI) project has delivered high-quality climate data for the electricity sector to use. The publicly available resources include climate models, in-depth case studies, and a full risk assessment workflow – so it’s no surprise that industry leaders are already leveraging these new tools for electricity sector planning and risk modelling.
