Each acquired project features development approval and connection agreements for 5MW solar facilities paired with battery storage systems. The projects are scheduled to enter construction in 2026 and achieve operational status by early 2027. Once operational, the portfolio is projected to generate approximately 90GWh annually and to produce around 85,000 Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs). Philip Graham, CEO of Clean Peak Energy, described the acquisition as enabling immediate construct...

The decision sees the proposal clear a major regulatory hurdle for the development located 15km east of Eneabba in the Mid-West region. Western Australia-based electric and gas utility Synergy submitted the development application for the 2GW solar-wind-BESS project in September 2025. The Tathra project features up to 140 wind turbines generating up to 1GW of capacity, paired with up to 500MW of solar PV generation and a 500MW battery storage system. The hybrid facility will connect to the Sout...

The facility will feature approximately 550,000 solar modules mounted on single-axis tracking systems reaching a maximum height of 3.5 metres above ground level. According to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act application, the solar installation will connect to power conversion units through underground cabling systems, with the entire array linking to an on-site substation. The battery storage system component will be housed in containerised modules positioned n...

Grid-scale solar generation increased 16% year-on-year during Q3 2025, establishing a new record for any third quarter period. The 238MW net generation increase resulted from 289MW of new capacity additions, 24MW from commissioning facilities, and 18MW from improvements to the existing fleet. Image: AEMO. Economic offloading reduced potential output by 90MW while curtailment accounted for 4MW of lost generation, demonstrating the growing need for storage solutions to capture excess solar product...
