Australia Submits First National Inventory Report to Meet Paris Agreement Emissions Reporting Requirements.

👉 The report covers Australia's emissions estimates from 1990 to 2021.
👉 The net greenhouse gas emissions in 2020-21 were 464.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

The energy sector remains the largest source of national emissions, while the land sector continues to be a net sink for emissions.

The Federal Government sees the report as crucial to Australia's transition to a renewable energy superpower, offering transparency and policy certainty to international investors and trading partners.

The report meets Australia's UNFCCC reporting needs and tracks progress towards Paris Agreement goals.

Victoria is taking another step towards becoming the home of Australia's first offshore wind farms. 👣

VicGrid has started public consultations on new transmission connections required for wind farms.

👉 Aims to achieve a minimum of 2GW of offshore wind capacity by 2032
👉 Offshore wind capacity of 4GW by 2035
👉 Offshore wind capacity of 9GW by 2040

💼 The offshore wind targets could result in the creation of more than 6,000 jobs locally.
💵 The targets could also attract billions of dollars in investment.

To ensure local values and concerns are considered, VicGrid will lead a three-phase public engagement process

1️⃣ Direct engagement with Traditional Owners, communities, and stakeholders.
2️⃣ Receive feedback for routes
3️⃣ Develop preferred options for routes

Member for Eastern Victoria emphasised the importance of giving local communities and stakeholders a voice in planning the infrastructure to benefit all Victorians.

The Hume Household Solar Rollout program has successfully installed 1,000kW of solar, hitting a milestone emission-reduction target. 🎯

Leading the way in solar installations and generation, with top-ranking suburbs in Victoria being:

👉 Sunbury
👉 Craigieburn

Not only does solar help keep our environment clean, but it can also help households save money, with Hume residents saving around $215,000 in electricity bills since installing solar panels.

As cost-of-living pressures continue to be a concern for many, now is the perfect time to consider installing solar panels.

To help with the transition, there are several rebates available, including:

💰 The Victorian Government is offering rebates of $1,400 and interest-free loans up to the same amount.
💰 Hume City Council offers an additional $700 rebate to concession card holders who install solar through the program.
💰 Other rebates and the no-interest loan can reduce the upfront costs of solar by $3,500.

At Future X Energy, we offer Residential Solar, Commercial Solar, Commercial PPA, and Storage solutions to help you make the switch to renewable energy and reduce your carbon footprint.

The government has announced a $40 million investment in the Sustainable Geoscience Investments package to accelerate critical minerals discoveries for use in low-emission technologies.

This investment will build on other initiatives to facilitate green energy projects, such as the Green Energy Assessment Unit and Future Battery Industry Strategy.

Western Australia is a major exporter of critical minerals such as:

👉 Lithium
👉 Nickel
👉 Cobalt
👉 Manganese
👉 Rare Earth Elements

But the world’s known reserves cannot meet what will be required for a net-zero future.

Big coal to big solar: NSW leads nation on new large-scale PV capacity One of Australia’s biggest coal states is rapidly becoming a leader in big solar – but much more wind power and storage needs to come.

🌞Australia's clean energy future is looking brighter than ever with the construction of an 'energy superhighway' underway, connecting three states!

🚛 Transgrid is building transmission lines, promising to create:

👉 A more reliable grid
👉 Lower power bills
👉 The future of clean energy

🗼1,500 towers set to be built and eventually connecting 900km of line.

The project will extend from Buronga in NSW to Wagga Wagga, Robertstown in South Australia, and Red Cliffs in Victoria, harnessing power from renewable energy zones.

👷‍♂️Workers are climbing more than 40 meters above the ground in this delicate operation to construct the towers

It's critical work to transform the nation's energy future and bring Australia closer to achieving its clean energy goals. 🔋

What is the current state of the electricity market in Australia? ⚡

The electricity market in Australia has been going through some changes lately.

With the rise of renewable energy and the push towards decarbonisation, the market has become increasingly complex. However, there have been small steps at have had a significant impact on the market such as:

🌱 The closure of several coal-fired power plants
✍️ The implementation of government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions

At present, the majority of Australia's electricity generation comes from:

👉 Coal
👉 Natural Gas
👉 Wind
👉 Solar

However, the share of renewable energy in the market has been steadily increasing over the years, with wind and solar power being the fastest-growing sources of electricity generation.

Overall, the electricity market in Australia is in a state of transition, with significant changes underway as the country moves towards a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

Stay tuned for more updates as the market continues to evolve 🪴

The Australian Government recently reached a deal with the Australian Greens to enhance the Safeguard Mechanism, which covers emissions from the energy industry.

While this has been met with mixed reactions, we wanted to highlight what these changes could mean for the future. 🌱

👉 Enhancements will decrease net emissions from covered facilities from 143 MtCO2-e to around 100 MtCO2-e in 2030.
👉 The agreement includes the Greens' proposal for a hard cap on absolute emissions, with a requirement for a 5-year rolling average gross emissions from covered facilities to decline over time.
👉 The agreement also sets a limit on net emissions from 2021-22 to 2029-30 of 1,233 MtCO2-e.
👉 Net emission targets have been established for 2030 and 2050.

While News Corp media has claimed the deal will strike a hammer blow to the Australian coal and gas industries many companies have shown their support.

Rooftop solar power provided 14% of Australia's electricity this summer, more than brown coal and other renewables combined!

The Clean Energy Council reported that rooftop solar produced 8046GWh this summer, up 19.5% compared to last year.

The increasing energy bills (which have risen by 15-20% since mid-2022) have triggered a surge in small-scale solar installations.

- Over 3 million homes and businesses use rooftop solar to reduce costs
- South Australia led the way in rooftop solar
- New South Wales showed the most improvement

Even more clean, low-cost generation was produced and used by households themselves, taking pressure off the system.

With ’s recent heatwave sparking concern for Western Australia’s energy grid, the state has activated its first Virtual Power Plant (VPP).

This is WA’s first ever activated VPP, where using cutting edge technology, all the systems will act as one giant battery to export energy to the grid during peak usage.

Virtual Power Plants are a network of batteries and other energy generating assets, coordinated for use in a cloud-based community.

The Clean energy provided to the grid was due to the combination of high temperatures, the expected high-power usage and existing low power reserves.
