2010 PV in Australia Report (Pdf) PV IN AUSTRALIA 2010 Prepared for the International Energy Agency Cooperative Programme on PV Power Systems by Australian PV Association May 2011 AUTHORS: Dr Muriel Watt & Dr Robert Passey, IT Power (Australia) Warwick Johnston, SunWiz With support from June, 2011 Australian National Photovoltaics Status Report 2010 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY CO-OPERATIVE PROGRAMME ON PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS Task 1 Exchange and dissemination of information on PV power systems National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Australia, 2010 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This report is prepared on behalf of and with considerable input from members of the Australian PV Association (APVA) and the wider Australian PV sector. The objective of the APVA is to encourage participation of Australian organisations in PV industry development, policy analysis, standards and accreditation, advocacy and collaborative research and development projects concerning solar photovoltaic electricity. APVA provides: Up to date information on PV developments around the world (research, product development, policy, marketing strategies) as well as issues arising. A network of PV industry, government and researchers which undertake local and international PV projects, with associated shared knowledge and understanding. Australian input to PV guidelines and standards development. Management of Australian participation in IEA-PVPS, including: PV Information Exchange and Dissemination; PV Hybrid Systems within Mini-grids High Penetration PV in Electricity Grids. The Association receives funding from the Australian Solar Institute, to assist with the costs of IEA PVPS membership, Task activities and preparation of this report.

  • Bill Appropriation Bill Community Ambulance
    2066 Approp. Bills; Comm. Amb. Cover Levy Repeal & Rev. & O’r Leg. A’ment Bill 17 Jun 2011 invested in a service that is there to keep each and every one of us safe at the peril of those individual officers. What you see in this budget is an additional investment in order to put GPS tracking into Corrective Services to ensure community safety is enhanced. There are also investments in the vehicle fleet for the Police Service to ensure the fleet is upgraded and maintained. There is an opportunity to make further investments into the future for such things as the technology the member is talking about, and that will be taken seriously in each budget process. The member’s question goes directly to an interest in public service delivery—the sort of public service delivery that the opposition wants to cut out from those on the Sunshine Coast, who have a legitimate expectation that the full $2 billion that was put into the Capital Statement should be kept for the Sunshine Coast. I make a prediction here that we will not see the ridiculous concept of Campbell Newman standing in front of someone at a press conference today; in fact, I do not think we will see him at all today. I think he would have scarpered. He will be running at a million miles an hour. He will be running around up there on level 6, up on tippy-toes, waving his arms around, projecting himself, pointing fingers and blaming people, hopping into all the staff members, getting into the shadow Treasurer, saying to the Leader of the Opposition that it is his fault, doing a nana.

    Chapter 7: Renewable energy 7.1 Introduction 7.2 Network capacity for new generation 7.3 Supporting renewable energy infrastructure development 7.4 Further information 7 Renewable energy Key highlights yyThis chapter explores the potential for the development and connection of renewable energy generation to Powerlink’s transmission network. yyThe generation connection capacity of Powerlink’s 132kV and 110kV substations for the existing transmission network is identified to facilitate high level decision making for interested parties. yyCompared to most other States in the NEM, Queensland’s network presently has a much lower proportion of intermittent renewables (to total generation capacity) and is capable of accommodating a considerable number of additional renewable connections without immediate concern for overall system stability. yyWhere economies of scale can be achieved through project cluster, Powerlink may consider the development of Renewable Energy Zones (REZs), subject to regulatory approvals and the conditions of its Transmission Licence. 7.1 Introduction Queensland is rich in a diverse range of renewable energy resources – geothermal, biomass, wind and hydro – however the focus to date has been on solar, with Queensland displaying amongst the highest levels of solar concentration in the world. This makes Queensland an attractive location for large‑scale solar powered generation development projects. There is significant potential for energy supply from renewable resources in Queensland. The rapid uptake of renewable energy systems is stimulating the development of supporting technologies, which in turn is improving the affordability of these systems. The uptake of over 1,500MW of small‑scale solar in Queensland to date provides strong indication that Queensland consumers are no longer meeting their energy requirements entirely through conventional means.
