Australia's Clean Energy Pipeline Expands
Australia’s clean energy pipeline has grown by 24% to 56.6 GW, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
The AEMO's latest "Connections Scorecard" reveals a significant increase in new generation and storage capacity across the National Electricity Market (NEM), driven by grid-scale batteries and hybrid solar projects.
"The latest insights show a strong and growing pipeline of new energy projects entering the market to meet consumers' growing electricity needs,"
said AEMO Onboarding and Connections Group Manager Margarida Pimentel. The development pipeline now stands at 56.6 GW of new capacity, a 24% increase over the past year.
AEMO tracks the progress of new projects quarterly, from initial application to full output, reflecting strong momentum across governments and industry to deliver new energy capacity and support a reliable power system.
