Solar farms asked to reduce output as uptake challenges remote West Murray power grid stability
4.2.2020
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) says the scale and pace of solar and wind generators being connected in remote areas of the national grid is "presenting unprecedented technical issues" affecting the grid's performance and operational stability ...
Investors with interest in developing new projects near the Victoria-New South Wales border are still lining up, even though grid stability issues there have forced five operational solar farms to halve the amount of energy they are feeding into the network.
The five solar farms in the so-called the West Murray region — which spans north-west Victoria and the far west of NSW taking in Broken Hill, Bannerton, Wemen, Gannawarra and Karadoc —
were ordered by AEMO to cut their energy output after a technical fault in September put the stability of the entire national grid at risk.

Support for nuclear energy heating up across government

February 8, 2020

Liberal and Nationals MPs are urging the Morrison government to tackle the politically thorny issue of nuclear energy, arguing its potential as a zero-emission source of baseload power is too tempting to ignore.
Coalition MPs have spoken out on nuclear energy as a solution to the need to decarbonise the economy, arguing the government can maintain Australia's long-held moratorium on nuclear power and take modest steps in early stage research and development of new technologies.

Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, inner-city Melbourne Liberal MP Katie Allen said Australia has a "unique opportunity" to help lead the way on research and development of "safer and more effective" nuclear energy.
Dr Allen, a paediatrician and medical researcher with a PhD, said "question marks remain" over the potential to use renewables as the sole source to power Australia's energy grid.
