Australian Northern Territory awards $ 6,000 for new PV users

    The Clean Energy Council in Australia believes that the solar and battery energy storage stimulus plan implemented in the Northern Territory is a measure needed to enhance consumer confidence and maintain employment opportunities in the current situation, which will allow the region The solar panel service costs energy and energy storage industries saw strong growth in employment and growth.

    The initial budget for the home and business energy storage plan is $ 800,000. The Northern Territory also announced the purchase of $ 30 million in large battery energy storage for the Darwin-Catherine Power Grid.

    The Clean Energy Commission believes that solar energy and energy storage investments are one of the most cost-effective government investments in the region to increase technical employment opportunities, help reduce electricity costs, hire locals, improve grid reliability, and help remote areas cope with natural disasters. elasticity.

    In 2019, the Northern Territory of Australia proposed a new goal of achieving zero carbon net emissions by 2050 in a policy document. One of the policies involves solar energy and provides support for the proposed 10GW / 20-30GWh large-scale solar + energy storage project. As of 2018, only 4% of the power generation in the Northern Territory came from renewable energy-this is the region with the least penetration of renewable energy in Australia ’s states or regions, well below Australia ’s national average of 18.9%.

    The Northern Territory is relatively remote, accounting for about 20% of Australia ’s total area. There are more indigenous people, mostly relying on diesel to generate electricity. The Australian government has been promoting optical storage technology to replace traditional power generation methods in remote communities.
