This allows renewable energy to flow to homes and business across Canberra when demand is high and solar generation drops. Construction is now underway on concrete bases for the batteries and the main switching building. This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid. The Big Canberra battery. . This goal was reached in 2020 when the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) — home to the nation's half a million-strong capital, Canberra — had enough renewable electricity to make coal and gas obsolete. This 250MW/400MWh lithium-ion battery facility – equivalent to powering 100,000 homes for 4 hours – exemplifies how grid-scale storage bridges renewable energy gaps. . Batteries will play a key role in the electricity system by reinforcing the quality of the grid's supply and boosting the penetration of renewables at times of low electricity production, which is a key milestone in the energy transition.

On 26 June 2025, Oceans of Energy's offshore solar farm “Nymphaea Aurora” was officially inaugurated at the Port of Amsterdam. . The Port of Amsterdam has received the first floating solar units for an offshore solar farm. The assembly of the offshore solar farm has been successfully completed at the Port of Amsterdam, and the system. . Oceans of Energy, a Dutch renewable energy pioneer, realised that adding offshore solar panels to sea areas already used by wind farms could increase total energy production up to fivefold compared to offshore wind alone. The modular, prefabricated units were shipped directly from the Oceans of Energy factory and are set to be assembled for installation in 2025.

Overseen by architecture firm Kezlo Group and installed by Solar Energy Services, a Johnnie-led local energy company helmed by Ethan Goddard (A14), the array is slated for completion in 2026. John's College has long invested in sustainability projects on campus, including geothermal heating, a living shoreline, rain gardens, and energy efficiency improvements continually being made to its historic buildings. This path to a greener future continues with a new project to install solar. . Planned upgrades to the educational institution include the addition of 1,670 solar panels, as well as 20 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across four campus parking lots. The solar installation will use an innovative grid-connected photovoltaic design, which will link the energy generated. . St. John's has emerged as a testing ground for grid-scale energy storage solutions, with its unique mix of renewable energy projects and industrial power needs. John's College President Mark Roosevelt will cut the ribbon on a new grid-tied solar installation at noon on Saturday, April 22.
