Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap
Loddon Mallee Region Renewable Energy Roadmap Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap Foreword On behalf of the Victorian Government, I am pleased to present the Victorian Regional Renewable Energy Roadmaps. As we transition to cleaner energy with new opportunities for jobs and greater security of supply, we are looking to empower communities, accelerate renewable energy and build a more sustainable and prosperous state. Victoria is leading the way to meet the challenges of climate change by enshrining our Victorian Renewable Energy Targets (VRET) into law: 25 per cent by 2020, rising to 40 per cent by 2025 and 50 per cent by 2030. Achieving the 2030 target is expected to boost the Victorian economy by $5.8 billion - driving metro, regional and rural industry and supply chain development. It will create around 4,000 full time jobs a year and cut power costs. It will also give the renewable energy sector the confidence it needs to invest in renewable projects and help Victorians take control of their energy needs. Communities across Barwon South West, Gippsland, Grampians and Loddon Mallee have been involved in discussions to help define how Victoria transitions to a renewable energy economy. These Roadmaps articulate our regional communities’ vision for a renewable energy future, identify opportunities to attract investment and better understand their community’s engagement and capacity to transition to renewable energy. Each Roadmap has developed individual regional renewable energy strategies to provide intelligence to business, industry and communities seeking to establish or expand new energy technology development, manufacturing or renewable energy generation in Victoria. The scale of change will be significant, but so will the opportunities. -

Australian Energy Draft rule determination Market Commission Integrating energy storage 15 July 2021 SUMMARY 1 As the electricity system transitions, energy storage is playing an increasingly important role and the regulatory framework needs to accommodate this shift. This draft determination explains the changes we are proposing to enable the integration of storage into the NEM. 2 On 23 August 2019, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO or proponent) submitted a rule change request to the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC or Commission) seeking to amend the National Electricity Rules (NER) to define storage and introduce a new participant category, the bi-directional Resource Provider (BDRP), and apply storage-specific obligations. -

Comes to Calm The
STORAGE comes to calm the omorrow’s energy market will bear almost no resemblance to the one we grew up with. The large coal-burning power plants that turn out up to 85% of the electricity we use today will all be gone, for a start. In place of the sturdy, monotonous output of a small number Tof generators we will rely on a legion of wind and solar assets scattered across the sunniest and windiest parts of the country. It will be an unruly lot, however, never willing to follow orders. Wind and solar plants generate when they want to, not when they are told to – unlike the dray horse-like work of coal plant, which will follow the master’s orders so long as they are fed the master’s fuel. It’s the unpredictable nature of wind and solar that makes people nervous, especially the politicians who ultimately are expected to answer for things if the lights suddenly go out. The simple solution in a grid largely supplied by renewable resources, of course, is to build batteries to capture surplus energy when it’s there and deploy it as demand dictates. But the grid is wildly varying, and a storage solution that might suit one bit of it will be totally inappropriate somewhere else. Also, in a future where gigawatt-scale storage assets are being considered, the implications for anyone considering hefty investments in Energy storage is a mandatory megawatt-scale batteries could be profound. It feels like the time has come for storage, which can be used to inclusion in a grid supplied by provide three things: energy security (balance generation and unpredictable wind and solar. -
