- 1Solar, Wind, Battery Storage And Politics Remain Entangled▼Solar, Wind, Battery Storage, And Politics — It’s Complicated
Renewable energy expansion is proving far more complicated than its technology suggests, with solar, wind and battery storage all caught up in political battles. Commentators are weighing how permitting rules, subsidies, grid policy and partisan divides shape how quickly clean power can scale. The discussion underscores that the main obstacles to the energy transition may be political rather than technical.
- 2Old EV batteries seen as key to storing Europe's renewable energy●‘A gold mine’: How old EV batteries could help prevent Europe from wasting solar and wind energy
Retired electric vehicle batteries could be given a second life as large-scale storage units, helping Europe keep the surplus solar and wind power it currently wastes when generation exceeds demand. The approach is being described as a valuable resource for the continent's energy transition, turning battery waste into grid assets that can store clean electricity for later use.
- 3New South Wales trials battery models to extend solar benefits●Australia’s NSW trials property-level and community battery models to extend solar benefits
Australia's New South Wales has launched trials of property-level and community battery models aimed at extending the benefits of rooftop solar to more households. The schemes will test how stored solar energy can be shared, easing grid pressure and lowering costs. The state is a leader in household solar uptake, making storage a key next step in its energy transition.
