The areas of the City of Salisbury, City of Tea Tree Gully and City of Playford and Adelaide City Council are part of the Adelaide Solar City. Adelaide has peak electricity supply problems, higher average domestic electricity prices than other States and a large amount of sunshine each year.
Energy options being trialled through the Adelaide Solar City include:
Some proposed features of the project include:
A AUD1.54 million project to build Australia''s largest roof mounted solar power system on the roof of the Alice Crowne Plaza was announced on 1 October 2008.[6]
Alice Solar City has been operating a little over 1.5 years. To date on 17 March 2009, 610 householders and 32 businesses had registered with Alice Solar City; 520 home energy surveys had been completed, and $1.5 million in financial incentives for energy efficient measures had been issued. Over 40 solar PV and 100 solar hot water systems had been installed (Centralian Advocate 2009e, p. 23). The completed solar technology installations are estimated to save 400,000 kWh per year, which equates to the average energy consumption of about 50 Alice Springs homes (Boon 2009, p. 4).
The lead organisation for this project is BP Solar. This project includes efficiency audit trials, 3,500 energy efficiency consultations installation of solar water heaters and photovoltaic panel installation that supplies one megawatt of solar energy, amongst other measures.[7]
The Central Victoria Solar City was announced on 10 December 2008. It covers one fifth of Victoria and involves 14 municipalities. Locals of Ballarat and Bendigo will be able to support solar power without having a photovoltaic system on their roof, as two large solar parks, each generating 300 kW, will be built near those cities.[8]
The Coburg Solar City was announced on 10 June 2008. Low income households are intended to be a focus of the program.[9]
Ergon Energy is the leader of the consortium initiating the 2007 to 2013 project. The project involved free energy audits, installation of smart meters and solar photovoltaic systems installed in selected homes and public buildings.
Danish renewable energy investment firm Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has launched a new Australian subsidiary, with eyes to deliver 6GW of new solar PV and wind energy in the next 10-years.
Based in Newcastle, the second-largest city in New South Wales, the new organisation, Voyager Renewables, will work on renewable energy projects in regional New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria.
The subsidiary will also look to develop energy storage solutions across Australia as part of its intended portfolio.
The new company is developing three projects in Australia. These include the 450MW Sunnyside Wind Farm, located in New South Wales'' South-West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), and the 1GW Wester Tablelands Wind Farm, in Victoria. This project will feature a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS); however, the capacity has not been revealed.
Voyager''s final project, the 2GW+ Energy Oasis in New South Wales, is predominantly an onshore wind project but will feature a co-located solar PV power plant with an accompanying BESS. The capacity of these has also not been disclosed.
Danish investment giant CIP entered the Australian market in 2017 by investing in the 2.2GW Star of the South offshore wind farmin Gippsland, southern Victoria. CIP is also supporting the development of the 5GW Murchison Renewable Hydrogen Project, based in mid-west Western Australia, aiming to combine solar PV and wind generation to produce green hydrogen for exports to Japan and South Korea.
CIP is one of the largest financial players in the global renewable energy market. In recent years, it has invested in several significant solar PV and energy storage projects. Indeed, the organisation has over 120GW of total capacity in its development pipeline, with US$50 billion being invested to date.
Perhaps one of its most notable moves was the majority share acquisition of South African independent power producer (IPP) Mulilo Energy Holdings in March 2023. CIP assumed control of Mulilo and its assets, which at the time comprised a 25GW pipeline of onshore wind, solar PV, and storage as well as 440MW of operational PV and wind projects.
At the time, Niels Holst, a partner at CIP, said the acquisition of Mulilo represented an "attractive opportunity to invest in a growing developer".
In more recent times, a consortium consisting of CIP, AP Møller Capital, and TE H2 revealed plans last week (29 October) to build a 1GW renewable energy facility in Morocco that will produce green ammonia.
Located near the Atlantic coast in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region, the project will feature 1GW of solar PV and wind capacity to power the production of green hydrogen, which will be converted into 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia for exportation to the European market.
Ammonia is one of theprimary methods being explored for large-scale hydrogen transportation, with the EU having established a target within its REPowerEU Strategy of importing 10 million tonnes of clean hydrogen by 2030.
CIP is also seeking opportunities within emerging global markets, and in December 2023, itlaunched its secondGrowth Markets Fund(GMF) with plans to deliver around 10GW of renewable energy capacity. This would represent around US$10 billion of total capital infrastructure investment.
TheGrowth Markets Fund IIwill focus on funding large-scale solar PV, battery energy storage, power-to-X and onshore and offshore wind in "high-growth, middle-income markets" across Asia, Latin America and EMEA.
Specifically, the fund will target 15 markets, of which CIP named five: India, Vietnam, Philippines, Mexico, and South Africa.

Renewable energy developer Sun Cable has obtained its principal environmental approval from the Northern Territory government and NT Environment Protection Authority for its Australia-Asia PowerLink (AAPowerLink) interconnector.
TheAAPowerLink projectis set to deploy between 17GW and 20GW of solar capacity and between 36.42GWh and 42GWh of energy storage to connect Australia''s Northern Territory with Singapore via 4,300km of subsea cable and supply power to the territory''s capital, Darwin, and the surrounding region.
Once complete, it will be capable of delivering up to 15% of Singapore''s total electricity needs via a 2GW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cable, Sun Cable said.
As confirmed yesterday (16 July), the developer has deemed the project the "world''s largest renewable energy and transmission project in development" and will deliver "more than AU$20 billion in economic value" to the Northern Territory throughout the construction period and first 35 years of operation.
The project aims to deliver up to 4GW of green electricity to Darwin''s green industrial customers over two stages of development. 900MW will be provided in stage one and approximately 3GW in stage two. 1.75GW will also be supplied to customers in Singapore.
Danish renewables giant European Energy is seeking federal environmental approval for its plans to build a 1.1 GW solar farm near the industrial city of Gladstone in central Queensland.
