Renewables crunching Australia’s electricity emissions – no thanks to federal policy
"A thriving rooftop solar market has effectively cancelled out any increases in consumption of grid supplied power
Large-scale renewable energy generation – and increasingly big solar – continue to drive a steady fall in Australia’s electricity sector emissions
small (rooftop) solar generation accelerated across all size ranges, including residential scale and also, for the first time, larger commercial and industrial-scale installations
rooftop solar was sufficient to meet all of the (relatively modest) growth in total electricity consumption ... Many new wind farms came on-line, accompanied, for the first time, by large numbers of new solar farms
“Sustaining renewables investment requires policy certainty and substantial grid planning. While a clear national policy framework would be preferable, in its absence, state-level policy is essential.”
