Low on energy? How integrating a Battery Energy Storage System could solve your MLF problem
The National Electricity Market (NEM) plays a critical role in balancing supply and demand for electricity across Australia. One key factor influencing this balance is the Marginal Loss Factor (MLF), which the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) publishes by 1 April each year.1 AEMO estimates that approximately 10% of electricity transported between generators and consumers […]
Navigating BESS planning approvals across Australia
As Australia works towards its target of 82% renewable energy generation by 2030,1 battery energy storage systems (BESS) are playing a vital role. They store excess energy from sources like wind and solar when demand is low, and release it when it’s needed, helping to keep the power grid stable. In Q4 2024 alone, five […]
Environmental offsets: what developers need to know

As development pressure increases across urban, regional and resource-rich areas, regulators require developers to compensate for unavoidable environmental impacts through legally enforceable offset arrangements. However, establishing an environmental offset under Australian law involves a complex and highly regulated process that […]
