Reported at reneweconomy.com.au: Labor’s electoral victory in Western Australia enables a significant household battery rebate initiative, offering up to $7,500 per household while aiming to facilitate renewable energy storage and support the grid.

Despite the focus on these battery projects, progress in establishing new large-scale wind and solar farms remains lacking, with only a few projects initiated in the past five years.

The state and federal governments have set a target to deliver over 6 terawatt hours of new wind and solar by the decade’s end, but current developments indicate a substantial challenge ahead in transitioning away from coal-fired power.
