Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)

We’re celebrating NAIDOC Week. 7 – 14 July marks the national celebration and recognition of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The #NAIDOC2024 theme is ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.’ It invites us all celebrate the strength and vitality of First Nations communities and amplify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices. Central to this is ensuring First Nations people have a greater say and stake moving forward. This includes collaboration on research and development, ownership of projects as well as shared and inclusive benefits from transformative projects across Traditional land and in First Nations communities. Explore some of the ARENA projects that combine some, or all, of these elements: https://lnkd.in/g4P_ftJy #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWeek #BlakLoudProud

ARENA is pleased to support the roll out of community batteries which will have a significant impact upon Australia’s energy and grid security while delivering cleaner and more cost-effective energy for our communities. We are encouraged to see this important asset class being demonstrated at such a scale and expect that this funding round will kick start the neighbourhood-scale storage sector.

ARENA is funding the roll out of community batteries to service Australian neighborhoods.    ARENA CEO Darren Miller joined Ausgrid CEO Marc England and Minister Chris Bowen at the launch, held in Sydney's Bexley North today.    $143 million will go towards delivering 370 batteries to locations across NSW, VIC, SA, QLD, TAS and NT.    ARENA's Community Battery Funding supports the integration of renewable energy in the grid. The batteries store excess energy from rooftop solar generation for later use within local homes and businesses.    Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gyZqcdap #ARENA #RenewableEnergy #CommunityBatteries #Solar

Join the global Solar ScaleUp Challenge. Are you an innovator, developer, engineer or financier looking to deliver large-scale solar projects? Or someone with an exciting solution from another industry that could be used in solar projects? The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Greenhouse’s global Solar ScaleUp Challenge is now open. Solar photovoltaic technology is key for global decarbonisation and the renewable energy transition. Large-scale solar deployment can unlock other renewable innovations, provide cheap electricity, grow new industries and help decarbonise high-emitting industries. But new solutions are needed to reduce costs, drive demand and unlock significant scale. So be part of the solution – join the Solar ScaleUp Challenge with other key players involved with solar farms around the world. Create a team and collaborate on ways to reduce the cost of large-scale solar installation, operation or maintenance. Teams have the opportunity to submit their solar proposals to access funding from a $100m grant pool within ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program. Together we can help the world achieve net zero with solar power.
