| The CEFC has announced its third equity investment in a large-scale renewable energy development. |
| An historic new report from Energy Watch shows that AU can reach 100% renewable energy in just a few decades, and it’s affordable; making this the clear answer to tackling climate change. |
| Tours are not only costly but can also be bad for the environment. So, Australian musicians band together to invest in solar farm projects. |
| Strong investments in renewable energy projects has continued to drive down electricity emissions, as wind reaches a new milestone, overtaking hydro for the first time, according to the latest National Energy Emissions Audit published by The Australia Institute. |
| Let’s take a deep dive into the ABC’s report on shonky solar to determine what was fair and what was not. |
