Every war, trade war and pandemic makes the case for renewables stronger.

Snowy 2.0 will bring something genuinely new to Australia’s electricity system: large and long lasting energy storage
Research reveals most of the sites the Coalition has earmarked for nuclear power plants would be suitable for pumped hydropower plants.
Impor listrik dari Sumatra lebih murah dan lebih bersih dibandingkan listrik berbasis gas fosil Singapura.
Pumped hydro and batteries can easily provide all the storage needed for 100% renewable electricity generation, eliminating the need for polluting gas power plants.
Yes we need land for solar panels, wind farms, batteries, pumped hydro, transmission lines and so on. But the amount of land is surprisingly small, when you do the sums. Here’s why.
Huge open-cut mining pits would be turned into reservoirs to hold water for renewable energy storage. It would give the sites a new lease on life and help shore up our low-emissions future.
Riset membuktikan Indonesia bisa mencukupi 100% energi bersihnya dari PLTS.
Laut khatulistiwa yang tenang bisa menjadi alternatif terandal untuk panen energi surya besar-besaran dari laut.
New research shows densely populated countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa could harvest effectively unlimited energy from solar panels floating on calm tropical seas near the equator.
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Australia’s renewable energy transformation will require a huge amount of energy storage. We need Snowy 2.0 to succeed.
The good news is the world’s coal use has peaked – and will soon rapidly decline. Australia is leading the way, and the rest of the world must soon follow.
To achieve a target of 82% renewable energy generation by 2030 requires a huge number of new sites for solar and wind farms.
To get to 82% renewables by decade’s end means storage - and that’s where we hope our new atlas of sites for pumped hydro storage can help
By 2025, factories are on track to churn out enough silicon to produce the equivalent of all installed solar – every year.
Indonesia dapat mengkombinasikan PLTS berskala besar dengan PLTA pumped storage sebagai fasilitas penyimpanan energi yang ramah lingkungan.
Indonesia has a nature-based solution for when solar power isn’t being generated: its enormous potential for off-river pumped hydro energy storage.
New research finds Japan has 14 times more solar and offshore wind energy potential than needed to supply all its current electricity demand. It doesn’t need Australia.
A team of researchers found 35,000 pairs of existing reservoirs, lakes and old mines in the US that could be turned into long-term energy storage – and they don’t need dams on rivers.
Halving Australia’s 2030 target would see Australia become a valued and relevant party to negotiations at Glasgow, rather than a resented freeloader. Here’s how we could get there.
Dengan potensi energi surya yang sangat besar,PLTS adalah energi masa depan di Indonesia. Potensi ini jauh lebih besar dari gabungan semua sumber energi lainnya.
Solar PV is the future of energy in Indonesia. Indonesia has vast solar energy potential, far larger than all other energy sources combined.
Renewables technology already exists, it’s getting cheaper and we will never go to war over sunshine. If you need to be convinced of the potential of wind and solar, read this.
A technological arms race in the 80s resulted in a world-first solar cell, that today underpins half the world’s solar power.
