The Albanese Labor Government is helping businesses, farms and community organisations cut their energy costs and strengthen our nation's energy security.  We're doing this by putting more rooftops to work and cutting the cost of medium-sized solar systems by 20 per cent.

The Cheaper Home Batteries program is great for families, good for the grid, good for families, and good for emissions. That’s why the Labor government will keep working to make it easier for households to go solar. Because we know that what’s good for the planet, is also good for your pocket.

Every battery installed through the Cheaper Home Batteries program is doing more than just lower energy bills for those households. It’s helping to reduce pressure on the grid during peak times at night. Which means less use of expensive gas, and cheaper wholesale prices for everyone.

Here's your Renewable Wrap: Wholesale electricity prices have fallen 47%, in the last 12 months.

While others engaged in politics and scare tactics, the Government has been focussed on the job of fuel security. We continue to have more fuel in Australia today than when the Iran war started. And we will continue to work every day to maintain Australia's fuel security.

Here's your Renewable Wrap: Renewable energy saved the world US$480 billion in 2025.

A new report out today from the International Energy Agency shows that sales of electric vehicles in Australia have doubled since February. Australians know that EVs are a good cost of living choice in difficult international times

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. (Three times in this case).

The Cheaper Home Batteries program isn’t just for homes! It can also help small local organisations like the Payneham Bowling Club switch to solar and save on energy costs.

For once I agree with Senator Canavan. He knows that renewable energy means cheaper electricity - so why are the Coalition doing everything they can to block them?

More Renewables 🤝 Cheaper Energy

In uncertain international times, energy partnerships are more important than ever. And Australia has no more important energy partner than Singapore Delighted to welcome my friend Dr Tan See Leng to Sydney for the Australia-Singapore Dialogue on Energy.

More home batteries = a stronger grid = lower wholesale energy prices for everyone.

The massive uptake of solar and batteries across the country is bringing wholesale energy prices down for everyone. That's what the latest Quarterly Energy Data report shows with peak time power prices hitting record lows.  This is our plan for a fairer and more secure energy system at work.

🚙 EVs and hybrid vehicles are saving nearly 15 million litres of fuel every week. That’s not just great for the planet, it means more fuel security for everyone.

Today I provided our weekly update on Australia’s fuel stocks. Australia currently has: ⛽️ 42 days of petrol 🛻 38 days of diesel ✈️ 32 days of jet fuel That’s 15% more than we had at the start of the conflict.

Australia's wholesale energy prices were some of the lowest in the developed world last quarter.  A new report out from the International Energy Agency shows that our abundant renewable energy is pushing energy prices down for everyone.

Australians are embracing renewable energy, consumer energy resources, and electric vehicles at record rates.

Our energy transition is taking shape as a record amount of renewable projects come online.  This isn't planned or currently in construction projects, it's real and tangible energy that is up and running right now.  There's more work to do and we're getting on with the job.

🏥 The Albanese Labor Government is expanding paid prac to student paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists and more.

Here's your Renewable Wrap: Renewables up to 8 times cheaper than large-scale Nuclear.

Here’s your Renewable Wrap: Australia is leading in solar installations.

Always good to have New Zealand's Minister for Climate Change, Simon Watts in town. Australia and NZ work closely together domestically and internationally, including in the Pacific and in the lead up to COP31. Great conversation today about where we are up to, and what more we can do together

The Australian Energy Market Operator has released their annual scorecard, and the news is good!

Here's Your Renewable Wrap: A record amount of new energy projects are now connected and powering the grid.

Great to get the opportunity last week to chat all things batteries, renewables, and energy with our fantastic Member for Barton Ash Ambihaipahar and her Barton Environment Consultative Committee.

Here’s your Renewable Wrap: EV sales are booming. 🚙

The Coalition and One Nation want you to believe that renewables are expensive, and that nuclear is cheap. Maybe they don’t know how to read a graph?

Big batteries all around Australia store the cheap, renewable energy we generate from solar during the day, so it can be used at night when demand is high. This strengthens our energy grid, moves us away from expensive coal and gas, and brings prices down for everyone.

Here’s your Renewable Wrap: Investment in renewable projects is on the rise.
