Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Network News: Australia’s power grid is rapidly turning to renewable energy. According to the latest Australian government forecast, by 2030, the increase in household solar power generation will make the proportion of renewable energy in the main grid power generation jump from the 23% in 2019 to 69%. This forecast is 14 percentage points higher than a year ago.
Australia is the world’s second largest coal exporter, it has also quietly become a renewable power plant. Here, 1/4 houses have solar panels installed on their roofs, which is higher than any other major economy and far higher than the global average.
the Australian Ministry of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources said in a report that the penetration rate of renewable power generation is higher, driven by rooftop solar energy. The low installation cost and sufficient sunlight make Australia the world leader in rooftop solar panels.
coal generation will drop to 11% of total installed capacity by 2030, down from the 2019 35%, the department said. Small solar will jump from 13% to 30% and wind from 10% to 17%. As a result, electricity emissions in 2030 will be 21% less than predicted last year. It is reported that Australia’s total emissions in 2030 are expected to be 0.439 billion tons, lower than 0.478 billion tons last year and 0.624 billion tons in 2005.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s government is facing questions about its approach and including emissions cuts driven by the land-use sector. Morrison on Tuesday pledged to achieve a target of zero net emissions by 2050, but some criticized him for not setting a more ambitious target for 2030.
