We’ve scoured all four corners of the internet for all the latest #renewables news (to save you a bit of time). Grab a coffee, here’s the gist (31/01/22 edition):
- The price of zinc is rising and will affect the price of renewables supplies (via ABC)
- One of Australia’s largest solar farms (12MW) has opened at Melbourne Airport (via ecogeneration.com.au)
- More and more Australian companies are learning how solar can improve their bottom line: Australia’s largest rooftop solar project (10MW) goes live (via AFR) + Bendigo and Adelaide Bank have installed a 200 kW rooftop solar system (via PV Magazine).
- NSW declares a second Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) located around Armidale, expecting $10 billion in private investment, 830 operational jobs, as well as 1,250 construction jobs each year (via Saur Energy).
- SA makes new renewables record using 100% wind and solar for an entire week (via goodnewsnetwork.org).
- Victoria’s remaining brown coal-fired power stations are likely to close years earlier than expected as the cost of renewable energy continues to fall.
Our shot of the week (from the Meralli archives) captures a shot of our 8.9 MW Baroota build in 2019.
