Wind and solar developers fear major delays due to proposed new "one at a time" connection rules designed to handle anticipated flood of new projects.

10 May 2021 The Australian Energy Market Operator says the rate of wind and solar additions on the country’s main grid, and the huge and growing pipeline, means it is “well ahead” of its most optimistic renewable transition scenario of 90 per cent renewable energy penetration by 2040. AEMO chief systems design officer Dr Alex Wonhas said in a statement on Monday that a further 300 generation and storage projects, totalling 55,000MW, were currently proposed across the NEM, nearly double its current total installed capacity. “Based on the pipeline of registered and commissioned renewabl...

The latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics report from the Australian Energy Market Operator lists a series of major new milestones, both in the share and reach of wind and solar, but also in the setting of new lows for minimum demand and record low output for black coal genera...
