Seasonally, spring is when renewable energy records reliably break as warmer temps and longer days reduce demand and increase solar generation. A brief guide to curtailment and the battery storage that's on the way, with lots of charts 📊: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
Free power as wind farms grind to a halt. What’s happening?
Mountains of clean power are regularly "wasted" as Australia's energy system evolves. But a large amount of battery storage is waiting in the wings, ready to soak it up.

Tasmania's west coast is currently fighting blazes and challenging bushfire conditions. Fire risk and behaviour can vary greatly in different parts of the country, based on a number of factors such as vegetation. One tool researchers are utilising? Video game tech www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...
Gaming software shows what turns a fire into a catastrophic blaze
Film industry software is helping researchers study how climate factors influence bushfire behaviour. After another hottest year on record, climate change is heightening the risk of severe bushfires a...
