Congratulations to Energy Minister Penny Sharpe and EnergyCo on the recent signing for the Deed of Intention with ACEREZ as Network Operator for the first Renewable Energy Zone in the state. This significant milestone for the NSW energy transition and the confirmed increased capacity to 6GW by 2038 paves the way for the
Across the NSW landscape the pipeline for renewable projects continues to surge, solar and wind projects rising above 40 GW of projects in planning. Twelve projects have been approved over the past six months in NSW, including a total 1500MW wind and 1790MW battery storage. Included in the total 675
Congratulations to Minister Penny Sharpe and the NSW Government in legislating greenhouse gas emissions targets in NSW – 50% by 2030, 70% by 2035 and net zero by 2050.

The recent draft Energy Policy Framework for planning assessments of renewables projects has caused a major stir in industry and government circles alike. Arguably largely at odds with acceleration plans for the state’s energy transition, some of the most impactful changes include: There is an opportunity to provide feedback by
We have seen many swings between the States and the Federal Governments in energy policy over the last 30 years. It is now the turn of the Feds to lead! The Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), drawing heavily on the NSW Long Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) framework, is now effectively
Three battery storage projects and three Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have been announced winners in the Federal-backed NSW Firming Tender. Observations: The results suggest the scope is flexible to accommodate valuable capacity if it is fast-to-market and in the right location. Stride also finds projects accelerate by participating in these
By Amy Kean and Luke Osborne Australia’s energy transition is as much about storage as it is about generation. Massive amounts of storage will be needed to modernise Australia’s grid, and the affordability of wind and solar is irrelevant unless we can store this energy in an efficient, stable and
Listen to the latest Energy Insiders podcast from RenewEconomy with Stride’s Director Luke Osborne, where he discusses large agri-solar developments like Blind Creek Solar Farm, social licence and meaningful community engagement, transmission, flexible industry response to a changing energy market, living on a sixth-generation farm that hosts wind power plus
Stride Renewables is very proud that the Blind Creek Solar Farm and Battery, a 300MW solar array coupled with a 300MW battery has been approved by NSW Department of Planning and Environment. The Stride team provided development services including design, oversight of planning approvals and community engagement support for this
NSW has a new Labor government, with Chris Minns, Labor leader, and his party winning in a decisive victory this weekend. In summary, it was a decisive victory to the Labor Government, and presents them with a strong mandate for their key priorities in education and the public sector but
