Australia promotes renewable energy with map tool, Fierce Energy November 6, 2014 | By Doug Peeples Developers of renewable energy and demand management projects in Australia will have a new tool to help them better understand the country’s electricity market and identify both opportunities and constraints. The online mapping tool is intended to both promote renewable energy and demand management and avoid excessive investment in new electricity infrastructure.
The tool is the creation of Sydney’s University of Technology (UTS), the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), energy providers and other stakeholders.
“These maps have the potential to make a major contribution to the development of the renewable energy and demand markets in Australia, while helping network service providers remove obstacles to a lower-cost future and the development of renewable, distributed energy and other demand management projects,” according to a news release issued by UTS and ARENA.
They also expect their creation to help lower energy costs for Australians, which are currently very high due to infrastructure over-investment and other factors, as well as support market development and energy efficiency in distributed energy.
UTS and ARENA also invited network service providers, project developers and others to take part in forums later this year where they would be able to learn more and contribute their thoughts on the mapping tool and the information it provides…….. For more:
