QREC has welcomed today’s announcement under the Federal Government’s Capacity Investment Scheme, including six large-scale Queensland renewable energy projects delivering over 2000MW of new clean energy capacity. Five of these projects are being developed by QREC member companies, showcasing the strength and capability of Queensland’s renewable energy industry. This milestone underscores the Sunshine State’s position as a national leader in the clean energy transition, combining abundant solar and wind resources, world-class expertise, and strong regional partnerships. As highlighted in QREC’s Queensland Renewables Growth and Investment Strategy, this is the kind of policy certainty that drives investment, jobs, and lasting benefits for regional communities across our state. Congratulations to our member companies leading the charge, and to all those contributing to a reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future for Queensland.

Our CEO Frank Calabria recently visited the teams at two of our regional power stations that are playing important roles in supplying reliable energy through the transition. At Mortlake, in south-west Victoria, the team is preparing for a major outage on Unit 12 to make sure we’re ready for peak summer demand, while next door construction is progressing on our 300 MW large-scale battery, that is set to come online in late 2026. Meanwhile in South Australia, Ladbroke Grove has had more than 400 starts in the past year alone, helping keep the lights on in a state where renewables now supply around 70% of the energy mix. #EnergyTransition #EnergySector

As the Reliability Panel undertakes an intensive work program, including the Review of the System Restart Standard and the recently commenced Reliability Standard and Settings Review the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has announced the reappointment of Ms Rachele Williams as the Consumer and Distributed Energy Resources (CER and DER) representative to the Reliability Panel. Ms Williams, currently a Director at the Plenary Group, has over 25 years of experience as a power system engineer and a distinguished track record in Australia’s energy sector.  Reliability Panel Chair Rainer Korte said Ms Williams brings invaluable expertise in distributed energy resources at a critical time for Australia's energy transition. “Ms Williams’ reappointment provides essential continuity as the Panel undertakes significant work to ensure our electricity system remains reliable and secure for all consumers," Mr Korte said.
