Radial Renewable Energy Park at Yarram Sawmill
GridEdge is currently involved in a project to create a Renewable Energy Park at the Radial Timbers Sawmill in Yarram. The project will establish a “Bioenergy Cell” that incorporates the GridEdge SoNick Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and The Earth Systems Charmaker Pyrolysis Unit and solar installations. Stage 1 of the Renewable Energy will be…

SoNick battery performance for cooking competition
GridEdge was recently asked to use our clean energy trailer with its Sodium nickel chloride (SoNick) battery to power a local cooking competition event to showcase local foods. Originally the expectations were that we would be powering the PA and sound system and maybe a portable fridge. As the day got closer the requirements changed…

Battery storage uptake by households surges as grid costs soar
Battery storage systems being installed in Australia look set to confirm earlier predictions that battery installations will treble in 2017. New data from the SunWiz 2017 Mid-Year Battery Report shows more than 7000 battery installations took place across Australia in the first six month of 2017. By contrast there were 6500 installations recorded for…

Accelerating Climate Action
Amongst the G20 countries, Australia’s emission reduction target – a reduction of 26-28% on a 2005 baseline – is unusually weak, nowhere near what is required for us to play our fair share in meeting a 2°C Paris target. The impacts that we are experiencing now at a ~1°C rise in average temperature are the…

Problems solved with battery storage
One of the biggest problems with the efforts to use renewable energy to produce large amounts of the energy consumed on a daily basis has been its inability to reliably supply power at the times it is most needed. This can and will be addressed with the installation of battery systems that allow households, businesses…

Focus on the Solution – Not the Problem
Powering the new economy with clean energy Many households and businesses already attach battery storage to their clean energy systems. Now is the time to grow the industry, encourage the take-up of storage and help make Australia a renewable energy leader. With public interest high, now is the time for a targeted, five-year…
