Miles George, head of Infigen Energy, says the renewable industry faces destruction if – as appears increasingly clear – the Abbott government makes substantial reductions to the renewables target. Job losses, company failures, and legal action, will inevitably follow.
UNSW research led by Martin Green into “stacked” solar cells one of 12 groundbreaking projects to get funding from ARENA.
As Abbott government renews attempts to kill ARENA, academics warn Australia could lose world leading position in solar research.
Australian-founded Atlantis Resources raises $US83m towards construction of first phase of planned 398MW tidal-stream power plant off Scotland.
Samoa installs largest solar project yet – a 546kW system that spans three separate sites on two of the independent state’s South Pacific islands.
China’s State Grid has outlined visionary proposal for a “Global Energy Internet”, sharing renewable power around the world.
China’s use of coal for electricity could peak as early as next year, then decline until 2020 in a turnaround of “global importance”.
The visualisation of a three-year project into what a purely renewable power supply in Germany would look like is truly astonishing.
Indian wind turbine manufacturers and project developers to increase annual capacity addition to five times its current level.
