Þrátt fyrir að mótmæli gegn endurnýjanlegri orkuverkefnum hafi verið mikil fyrir alríkiskosningarnar, hefur Ástralía staðist í hljóði stórum tímamótum í sólarorku - og náð 25GW af uppsettu afli og PV á mann, samkvæmt skýrslu frá Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Greining. meira en nokkurt annað land í heiminum.
It's a huge achievement for a country that has been blamed for exporting large quantities of coal, with Australia also ranking first for the polluting fuel. For geographical and economic reasons, Australia will continue to maintain this duality of using more green energy at home while exporting polluting coal to the rest of the world.
Græn orka, sérstaklega sólarorka, er að verða vinsæll kostur í Ástralíu. Græn orka kostar minna í þessu mikla, sólríka landi. Samt sem áður er kolaútflutningur mikilvægur til að viðhalda innlendri atvinnu.
According to the Australian Photovoltaic Association, the latest achievement in total solar energy per capita comes in 2021. Australia's cumulative capacity has actually jumped to 26.9GW by early 2022. In a country of just under 26 million people, this achievement cannot be underestimated. By comparison, India would need more than 1,350GW of solar energy to achieve the same level of solar energy per capita.
Currently, India is about 50GW. Australia's rooftop solar penetration rate also leads the world, with a household utilization rate of more than 30 percent , and rooftop solar per capita is also in a leading position.
Tímamótin loka á metár fyrir sólarorku í Ástralíu árið 2021, þar sem 5,2GW af PV var sett upp í Ástralíu.
Þrátt fyrir truflun af völdum annarrar bylgju Covid-19 og sífellt sterkari mótvinds á alþjóðlegum sólarorkumarkaði, fóru þakinnsetningar á heimilum og fyrirtækjum yfir 3GW í met 3,24GW.
Stærri, stór-jarð-sólarorkuver settu nýtt met í desember og framleiddu meira en 1,000 GWst af raforku í fyrsta skipti í þessum mánuði, með samtals 1.263 GWst.
According to recent analysis by the Climate Commission, small and large-scale solar projects collectively met 13.3 percent of Australia's total electricity demand during the year. To maintain its energy export status in a post-fossil fuel world, Australia is also building some ambitious power export projects that will export green electricity, in addition to producing green hydrogen for re-export.
