That’s actually impressive. Adding that much renewables and battery storage in just three months shows how fast the energy transition is moving.
its almost as if its literally cheaper per dollar for private industry to do it now, so the government is dragged into it kicking and screaming

Hope that investments like this finally nail shut the coffin on the Opposition’s nuclear ambitions.
But Angus said he still need nuclear! Why would he lie?
Cool. That’ll just about cover all the new datacentres using it all for AI no one wants!
I’m proud of our country.
Excellent
So what is the USA with all its nuclear plants doing?

> **New forecast: solar, wind and battery storage to dominate in 2026**
> Virtually all net new electrical generating capacity in 2026 will be provided by solar, wind, and batteries according to a new forecast released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Utility-scale renewables plus battery storage are projected to increase by nearly 70,000 MW – roughly equivalent to the generation capacity of 70 nuclear power plants.
The article mentions transmission as a bottleneck. Are there many mid sized batteries going in at local substations? I see a few dozen community batteries in WA but not turning up much for other states.
The substation in my area has a half a football pitch of spare land and I keep hoping to see a few container size batteries show up.
