Six new solar farm projects totalling 623 MW of renewable capacity and four big batteries delivering up to 365 MW and 600 MWh of new energy storage have been given the tick of approval by the Victorian government as it looks to meet its target of powering all its operations with clean energy by 2025.
Supporting development of well sited, well designed solar energy generation facilities in Victoria. The Minister for Planning is the responsible authority for new planning permit applications of all energy generation facilities that are 1 megawatt or greater.
Other successful projects include the 95 MW Derby Solar Project and co-located 85 MW/100 MWh big battery being developed by Sungrow Renewable Energy in the state’s central north, and Octopus Investments’ 80 MW Fulham Solar Farm and 80 MW/100 MWh DC-coupled battery being developed in eastern Victoria.
Solar energy facilities in Victoria can be viewed on VicPlan: Select the ‘Map’ tab from the main toolbar and select 'Layer Catalogue'. Expand 'Wind & Solar Farms' and select maps by ticking the check-box alongside each layer, then select 'OK'. The selected layers appear on the map and are listed in the layer control panel to the left of the map.
Many Victorians are using small scale solar systems in their homes. This gives them independence from conventional energy supplies and can reduce energy bills. A feed-in tariff is also provided in certain circumstances. Get support to put solar on your home at Solar Victoria.
Through solar battery rebates and loans, more than 20,000 solar battery systems have been installed across Victoria. The Government has helped Victorian families slash $1 billion off the installation of solar panels, energy efficient heat pumps and batteries – saving hundreds of millions off Victorian energy bill.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
