Good news that NSW Govt is developing a national mandatory #solarrecycling scheme. As @SmartEnergyCncl says - only 5% of 4 million solar panels coming off roofs each year are recycled - yet 95% of materials they contain can be recovered and re-used.

Our latest article in our Driving Our Energy Future series in @FifthEstateAU - by @CharlieRodrick @solarcitizens National Campaigner - so-called 'Community Batteries' need a rethink to truly benefit communities and those locked out of #cleanenergy.
Don’t be fooled by the name, community batteries – check out the different schemes

After two weeks of living in the world of V2G charging, I can happily report the experience is mind-blowingly fantastic!

.@EnergyAustralia will invest in distributed #energy solutions, like #homebatteries and community batteries which 'help households and communities control their energy use and access more affordable, low-emissions energy sources.'

EnergyAustralia says its focus is on storage – grid-scale and home batteries and pumped hydro – but makes no mention of new wind and solar.

Which company can you trust to sign on with as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)? .Amber gives customers control over their batteries and the $$ earned for a flat fee. Recommended for a transparent, consumer-centred approach with no lock-in contracts.

With over 1,000 battery installations every day since the federal rebate program went live, there is a huge opportunity to scale up VPP-connectivity - but only if we get things right - writes @solarcitizens National Campaigner @CharlieRodrick.

Great reporting by @renew_economy - and encouraging to hear this confidence from @AEMO_Energy that Australia is addressing the security issues to support our grids running 100% #renewable!.
#AEMO boss says Australia’s electricity #grids can be run on 100 pct #renewables, because the system issues identified after #Spain blackout were already being addressed.

Important ruling by Intl Court of Justice that all countries have a legal obligation to protect the climate from greenhouse gas emissions. All Australian govts should support the transition to #cleanenergy to reduce our emissions. #ICJAO #climatejustice.

The World Court's climate change decision has been hailed a "planetary scale" win for climate advocates pushing for stronger action against carbon pollution.

We knew Aussie #solar households would love a Federal Home Battery rebate - @GuardianAus reports 1000 #battery installations happening per day! Analyst Tristan Edis said at the current rate 10,000MW of battery capacity could be installed by 2030.
theguardian.com
At current rate, households could have 10,000MW installed in five years – half the nation’s total coal power capacity, expert says
