The energy transition is amongst Australia’s most important challenges but equally presents significant opportunities. The renewable energy sector experienced unprecedented growth in in 2024, with 7.4GW of new large and small-scale wind and solar capacity added, surpassing the 2020 record. Looking ahead – Australia is on track to have 45% renewable energy in the grid in 2025. This will be supported by the upcoming Guarantee of Origin Scheme and the expanded Capacity Investment Scheme, which aim to add 32GW of capacity by 2030. The next five years will see big changes across the renewable energy landscape. Read more from our Executive General Manager, Carl Binning in Energy Magazine 👇https://bit.ly/4cbTbFp

Rooftop solar capacity added in 2024 is likely to have been about 3.2 GW and set a record. At 17 March 2025 we had processed small-scale technology certificate (STC) claims for 3.09 GW, well above the 3.02 GW at the same date for the 2023 calendar year. 2023 finished at a total of 3.14 GW and we maintain our estimate of 3.2 GW for 2024. We are continuing to receive STC claims for installations that occurred in late 2024. These claims can be made up to 1 year from the time of installation. Although, the majority are claimed within 3 months from the installation date, we received the last claims for 2023 in November 2024 to record the 3.14 GW for that year. The clear trend over the last 3 years is total installations down but average system size and total capacity increasing. The average system size reached 10 kW in 2024. Our Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) data is valued by energy analysts as the source of truth. However, when looking at the actual data for the most recent year it is critical to estimate and adjust for the ‘lag’ effect of the 12 month creation rule for STC claims. The 2025 year has started strongly and at this stage is tracking at a similar level to the record year of 2024.
