In this Weekly Dispatch: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. IEEFA finds just 5.6\u00a0GW of solar sits on Australian commercial and industrial rooftops today against a forecast\u00a017\u201331\u00a0GW by 2050<\/a>, with the “missing middle” stalled by patchy incentives, inconsistent network tariffs and slow grid connections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Transgrid has energised\u00a0EnergyConnect<\/a>, the 900\u00a0km interconnector linking NSW, Victoria and South Australia, adding 800\u00a0MW of transfer capacity and room for 2\u00a0GW-plus of new renewables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. ARENA is tipping in another\u00a0$13.6\u00a0million<\/a>\u00a0to scale its vehicle-to-grid trial to 1,000 households (total funding now $16.8\u00a0million), with BYD leading work to resolve carmakers’ battery-warranty concerns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Australian Energy Council looks to\u00a0Ireland’s new rule<\/a>\u00a0forcing data centres to source 80% of demand from additional renewables, as local data-centre load is tipped to climb from about 2% of NEM consumption to 12% by 2050.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. NOAA has\u00a0declared El Ni\u00f1o underway<\/a>\u00a0with the equatorial Pacific at record-warm early-June levels, signalling a hotter, drier summer that lifts cooling demand and bushfire risk across the grid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The AFR warns slow renewables and transmission build is leaving consumers\u00a0poorer<\/a>, citing Net Zero Australia findings that large-scale wind now takes around eight years, and solar farms over five, to develop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Sembcorp industries completes acquisition of Alinta Energy<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. METI is proposing a new subsidy scheme for CCS projects<\/a> to cover up to 75% of construction costs with the scheme implemented from FY2027.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Podcast of the week: Columbia Energy Exchange chat about the transition slowing<\/a> down<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
