The plan is to cut emissions from the energy sector to zero.

ARENA has also been at the forefront of funding for clean energy R&D.

The project explored commercial frameworks that can be used to operate utility-scale storage within the National Electricity Market (NEM).

The trial will provide insight into the latest technologies in this area and see firsthand the changes most likely to take place over the next 20 years.

The innovation fund will make available $100 million a year for the next 10 years.

Epuron sourced CEFC funding to construct the $7 million, 5,770-module solar array at the resort.

Cities that get on a low-carbon development pathway early will be the most successful over the next decade.

The new multimillion dollar facility will test high power central photovoltaic inverters in a wide range of climatic conditions.

There is now at least one solar panel in use for every man, woman and child living in the country.

Australia has the highest proportion of households with solar panels in the world, about 15 per cent, according to the Energy Supply Association of Australia.

The projects are located in all mainland states and have a total capacity of 766 megawatts (MW).

The energy sector accounts for two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions.

First orders under the agreement have already been placed.

Energy storage costs are falling, which is just one of a number of energy trends identified by the CSIRO in its report.
