Australia is a sunny country with excellent renewable energy resources. However it is not rolling out clean energy projects rapidly enough to reach the Australian government’s target of 82% renewable electricity by 2030.

Wind and solar are dilute energy. They require vast amounts of land to generate the electricity required by modern society.

These projects total 167 gigawatts of new generation capacity. The total monetary value is estimated to be $33 billion. That is assuming they get built.

Wind employs twice as many people as coal power generation. However, coal still produces 19.5% of our electricity while wind only accounts for 10.2%.

By 2021, wind, solar, and natural gas provided 48 percent of Germany’s electricity, and provided most of the electricity consumed in Italy (63%), the UK (64%), and the Netherlands (78%).

Global renewable capacity additions are set to soar by 107 gigawatts (GW), the largest absolute increase ever, to more than 440 GW in 2023.

Interpath Advisory was appointed to handle the administration and sale of Toucan last November, as Thurrock Council in Essex revealed it was owed £692 million ($857 million) by the business. Interpath, which has hired advisers from KPMG to oversee an auction of the 53 sites, is hoping to recover losses through the sale of the farms.

New utility-scale solar capacity was 2,530 megawatts (MW) or 39.56% of the total ... and that does not include small-scale distributed PV systems. New wind capacity provided 1,475-MW or 23.06% of the total.

Renewable generation capacity increased by 295 GW (+9.6%) in 2022. Solar energy continued to lead capacity expansion, with a massive increase of 192 GW (+22%), followed by wind energy with 75 GW (+9%). Renewable hydropower capacity increased by 21 GW (+2%) and bioenergy by 8 GW (+5%). Geothermal energy increased by a very modest 181 MW.
