From May 1, the federal government will change how its home batteries discount works. But households may make rushed, costly purchases as a result.
Australia desperately needs skilled workers and materials to build transmission infrastructure and keep the energy transition on track.
Smart buildings can team up to be more energy efficient while keeping the people inside comfortable.
AI needs careful monitoring and the right policies to ensure it can benefit the fight against climate change.
Australia’s main grid has 40,000 km of transmission lines. Building another 10,000 km quickly is proving hard.
