Green Bank momentum continues around the globe, with more transactions in new sectors, growing interest in the Green Bank model in new countries, and several high-level events featuring Green Bank case studies and opportunities around the world. Green Bank Network (GBN) members continue to push forward transformative deals. This includes CEFC’s investment in Australia’s first combined wind, solar and battery project, Green Investment Groups first investments outside the UK, and new solar PPA deals under CT Green Bank’s C-PACE framework. In addition, NY Green Bank announced a plan to raise an additional $1 billion in private sector funds to clean energy projects in new parts of the U.S. through Green Bank partners. See details on recent member transactions below. Internationally, South Africa’s DBSA also announced their plans to create a Green Bank program.

  • The Answer Is Blowing in the Wind?
    The Answer is blowing in the Wind? Introduction Most people living in the Mid North of South Australia are well-aware that the region is targeted with the rapid roll out of Premier Rann‟s renewable energy programme. In recent years, massive industrial wind turbines have appeared along ridgelines from Waterloo in the south to near Jamestown in the north, and from Snowtown in the west to Hallett in the east. Many more projects are in the pipeline: Carmody‟s Hill, Willogoleche, Collaby Hill, Hallett Stages 3, 4, and 5, Barnhill, Snowtown 2, Stony Gap and Robertstown; some of which are approved and all of which are planned. The Mid North is not the only region of the state with wind farms but, at this stage, they are more concentrated there. Why is this so? In part, it is because of the close proximity of the wind farm sites to a number of electrical power sub-stations and to an extensive grid system. Also, experience from around the world shows that low-income areas are 80 metres the height of the towers frequently targeted because people in such areas are less likely to criticise the 48 metres the length of the blades problems caused by new industries. Some time ago, a bureaucrat, working in the state‟s energy department, when asked why the Mid North was 90 tonnes the weight of the nacelle considered a good area to locate industrial wind farms answered that the and hub which sits on top population there was low and people would put up with them.

ElectraNet completed the Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (RIT-T) with the release of a Project Assessment Conclusion Report (PACR) on 13 February 2019, which concluded that Project EnergyConnect was the preferred option that satisfied the requirements of the RIT-T. On 24 January 2020 the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) issued a formal determination that found that ElectraNet had correctly identified Project EnergyConnect as the preferred option. The National Electricity Rules (NER) require ElectraNet to consider whether, in its reasonable opinion, there has been a “material change in circumstances” that might lead to a change in the preferred option and thereby potentially require reapplication of the RIT-T.
