The Energy Transitions Commission Calls for 40% Methane Emissions cuts by 2030

London, 30 September 2021 — The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) today published its latest report, Keeping 1.5°C Alive: Closing the Gap in the 2020s. The report identifies six sets of actions that could keep the world on a path to limit global warming to 1.5°C and which could be catalysed by commitments made at COP26. One of those actions is particularly crucial – cutting methane emissions by 40% by 2030. […]

Business park powers site with solar, battery, microgrid solution

Peel Business Park is a 1000-hectare industrial estate being developed in Nambeelup, WA. Due to the remoteness of the area, an existing power connection to the traditional grid did not exist — an onsite, behind-the-meter solar and battery solution was highlighted as the most cost-effective, reliable and green alternative. The renewable energy solution includes a 1.2 MW solar farm, incorporating over 2772 bifacial 440 W panels with a NEXTracker single-axis […]

Predicting power generation from wind and solar

Machine-learning technology is being used to accurately predict energy generation from wind and solar for integration with the national grid, as part of a collaboration between Monash University’s Grid Innovation Hub, Worley and Palisade Energy. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)-funded project aims to provide wind and solar power generators with more accurate and reliable five-minute-ahead self-forecasting tools. By improving the accuracy of five-minute-ahead forecasts required by the National Electricity […]
