ARENA has committed over AUS$3.2 million in funding to PV Lighthouse and Built Robotics Australia to help develop ultra-low-cost solar.

ARENA has provided AUS$15 million in funding to AEMO to enhance the operational capacity of the National Energy Market (NEM), aiding solar.

Fortescue's 100MW North Star Junction solar farm in Western Australia is partially operational, and the firm is committed to green hydrogen.

The Australian Energy Market Commissioner (AEMC) is proposing to enable virtual power plants (VPPs) to directly compete with large-scale generators in the energy market, which could aid solar PV’s role in decarbonising Australia.

The first auction of Australia's Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) has received interest from more than 40GW of solar and wind projects.

ARENA has launched its global AUS$100 million ‘Solar ScaleUp Challenge’ aiming to stimulate innovation and collaboration in the solar sector.

ARENA’s Silicon To Solar study seeks to outline a “credible pathway” for Australia to establish 10GW of polysilicon (poly-si) purification capacity and 5GW of ingot, wafer, cell and module production capacity from 2030.

A total of AU$150 million will be made available for applications focusing on regional decarbonisation of industrial process heat and off-road transportation.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will invest AU$11 million (US$6.9 million) in Australian solar technology company SunDrive Solar to support the commercial scale-up of SunDrive’s novel solar cell metallisation technology.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has committed AU$358 million (US$227.8 million) to new projects during the year from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, while it has also assigned AU$41.5 million for ultra low cost solar, a new focus since last year.
