Australia’s renewable energy output up 13%; solar power leading

The output reached 7 terawatt-hours (TWh). 

The total renewable energy output in Australia grew 13% to 7 terawatt-hours (TWh) in September year-on-year, Rystad Energy research showed. 

The study also showed that solar power accounted for most of the increase, recording 1 TWh more than in September 2022. Wind generation remained steady YoY, while hydro generation slightly declined.

In September, New South Wales (NSW) topped the list for utility solar PV generation, generating 650 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Nationwide utility PV generation, meanwhile, was at 1,331 GWh, increasing 41% YoY. 

“NSW hosted 14 of the top 20 utility PV assets, with the Edenvale solar farm in Queensland, which is jointly owned by Eneos and Sojitz and has a capacity factor (operational efficiency) of 35%, claiming the top spot,” read the study.

Wind generation in September totalled 2,488 GWh, a 1% growth compared to September 2022. 

The top-performing wind assets were in Queensland and Tasmania, with Prime Super’s Morton’s Lane wind farm the only exception outside of these regions. 

At a state level, Victoria dominated the wind generation with 874 GWh. Next is South Australia (464 GWh) and NSW (456 GWh).
