Australia’s Climate Council says $42 billion of private investment and around 100,000 jobs in renewable energy could be created through the implementation of a Renewable Energy Storage Target (REST).<\/p>\n
Representatives from the Climate Council, Smart Energy Council, Clean Energy Investor Group, Solar Citizens and Advanced Materials Battery Council will gather today in Canberra to lobby the Albanese Government on REST.<\/p>\n
“Australia\u2019s Federal and State Energy Ministers are in the process of designing a new mechanism to support the stability and reliability of Australia\u2019s energy system in the years ahead,” says a joint statement<\/a>. “A Renewable Energy Storage Target is a strong alternative to any model that would prop up expensive, unreliable coal and gas \u2013 the main drivers of recent energy price spikes for Australian homes and businesses.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Renewable Energy Storage Acceleration Scheme<\/h2>\n
Late last month another coalition led by the Smart Energy Group called for a Renewable Energy Storage Acceleration Scheme and targets set for each state and territory; adding up to a National Large-scale Renewable Energy Storage Target.<\/p>\n
“We need everything from batteries on wheels in electric vehicles to household battery systems to unlocking massive investment in large-scale energy storage projects through a Renewable Energy Storage Acceleration Scheme,” said<\/a> Smart Energy Council CEO John Grimes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Scheme would involve a series of government tenders for large-scale renewable energy storage projects to meet forecast shortfalls in dispatchable generation and storage. A briefing note on how the Scheme would work is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Hands Up If You’d Like A Home Battery Subsidy<\/h2>\n
I’m guessing quite a few hands have gone up.<\/p>\n
Home batteries<\/a> are a significant investment, and those hankering after a Tesla product in particular were likely disappointed to recently discover the price of Powerwall went up yet again<\/a>; putting this popular home energy storage solution further out of reach. While there are a number of Powerwall alternatives<\/a> that are cheaper, solar battery system pricing<\/a> remains expensive regardless.<\/p>\n
The Smart Energy Council acknowledges the need for batteries for all sorts of applications, but its Renewable Energy Storage Acceleration Scheme doesn’t address the home market.<\/p>\n
Solar Citizens has gone into bat for the battler, last week calling on<\/a> the Federal Government to expand the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) – part of Australia’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) – to also provide a financial incentive for home battery storage. How much luck they’ll have there remains to be seen and I’m not aware of any positive murmurings from the Feds about it at this point in time.<\/p>\n
Currently there are several state\/territory- based schemes providing battery subsidies: the ACT<\/a> (up to $3,500), Victoria<\/a> (up to $3,500) and the Northern Territory<\/a> (up to $6,000).<\/p>\n
South Australia also had an incentive until July this year after the scheme was axed<\/a> by the Malinauskas Government. Following the blackout event in SA<\/a> on November 12 that stretched out for days for some<\/a> and then more blackouts on the weekend (and into this morning) due to severe weather, no doubt some South Australians are again cursing that decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
