Renewable energy in Victoria - the targets, key programs and policies, and the future of renewables. Check out my latest article on Medium !

I just read up on the new trial of solar-powered smart bins at Shelley Beach. It is part of a broader initiative to integrate innovative technology and smart infrastructure to improve sustainability along the coast of New South Wales. The energy generated compacts the waste inside the bins, reducing emissions through fewer garbage collections. What a great initiative! Read up more on the bins here .

What is Demand Response? And how can the schemes help you save on your electricity bill? To learn more about coupling solar with Demand Response, check out my latest article on Medium !

Australia’s energy system is undergoing its greatest transformation since the 1950s due to a change in consumer preference as well as changes in the economic climate, engineering and technology space, and the increasingly urgent requirement for environmental and climate protection. In my latest post on Medium , I've broken down the major types of renewable and non-renewable energy types in Australia. Check it out!

Hydroelectric power is helping fill the gap in the energy supply of Australian homes. ⁠ ⁠ Many may be unaware, but hydroelectric power currently powers hundreds of thousands of properties all over Australia, accounting for a vast portion of the energy generated through renewable sources.⁠ ⁠ As water passes from a reservoir, it passes through a turbine (or energy generator). When the water passes through the turbine blades, the generator converts the motion into energy. ⁠ ⁠ This source of energy has the potential to power households during peak demand periods to minimise grid outages. ⁠ ⁠ For more on renewable energy, follow me on Instagram !
