\"Northern
\nAlong with the release of NT’s Roadmap To Renewables report yesterday, the Northern Territory’s government has also announced new grants for households to install solar panels.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Michael Gunner says the shift to renewable energy is inevitable and the Territory is well placed to take advantage of the clean power revolution.<\/p>\n

One of Territory Labor’s election commitments was a target of 50% renewable energy by 2030, but it wasn’t quite sure how it was going to get there. There’s a lot of work to be done as the share of renewables in the Territory’s energy mix is currently just 4%, with gas and diesel-based electricity generation making up 96%.<\/p>\n

The Roadmap To Renewables report<\/a> (PDF) offers a “credible path” to reaching the 50% goal said Mr. Gunner.<\/p>\n

The report’s Expert Panel says reaching the 50% mark presupposes an installed renewable energy capacity of approximately 450MW peak.\u00a0The Northern Territory has very high solar irradiation levels, but relatively low average wind speeds – so solar PV should be the technology of choice suggests the Panel, along with energy storage.<\/p>\n

The amount of land needed would be around 700 hectares; a tiny fraction of the NT’s 1,346,200 square kilometres. As a comparison, solar PV would cover much less than one percent of the Victoria River Downs (VRD) cattle station.<\/p>\n

\"Land<\/p>\n

As well as large-scale projects, not to be forgotten are the existing rooftops of homes and businesses throughout the NT yet to see solar panels installed.<\/p>\n

One of the recommendations for boosting uptake of solar power in Darwin<\/a> and elsewhere is making changes to the Northern Territory feed in tariff<\/a>, which is currently the most generous in Australia (1:1). The Panel suggests the FiT be adjusted to reflect electricity demand at different times of the day.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Gunner says his Government has accepted or accepted in principle the key 11 recommendations from the report.<\/p>\n

“Over the coming months we will carefully and methodically undertaking the financial and economic modelling required to implement these recommendations in a way which delivers the cheapest possible power for families and businesses, and minimises the need for taxpayer investment,” said<\/a> Mr. Gunner<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New Solar Grants<\/h2>\n

While the NT may have the country’s best feed in tariffs, the tyranny of distance makes installing solar power systems more expensive, presenting a barrier to uptake.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Mr. Gunner also announced $4.5 million for co-contribution grants of up to $1,000 to households to undertake energy efficiency measures such as the installation of solar panels<\/a> and battery systems<\/a>. These grants would be in addition to Australia’s existing major solar subsidy<\/a>. It’s not clear yet as to when the new grants will kick in.<\/p>\n

Previous State Government initiatives offering grants for solar, such as the Home Improvement Scheme<\/a>, were very popular.<\/p>\n
