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 by Australian States
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 2°C Paris target. The IPCC uses a synthesis of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers to assess the degree of…
