Significant cost reductions can be achieved by front-loading the deployment of renewables, mainly wind and solar photovoltaic, and by utilizing the technologies needed to balance their inherent intermittency, such as energy storage and thermal balancing power plants.

Queensland, which has the highest dependence on coal of any Australian state, has announced that it will spend AU $776 million (US $500 million) to build Australia’s largest publicly owned wind farm. The post Coal-dependent Queensland will build Australia’s largest state-owned wind farm appeared first on Electrek.

Welcome to Australia, where a green-hydrogen boom is in full swing. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. Phantom projects are not a problem confined to Australia. Why a hydrogen truck? The coming fuel-cell trucks will trim its diesel consumption.

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. But the plan suggests a significant amount of gas will remain in the grid.
