In a move that has been welcomed by climate campaigners, South Korea has vowed to phase out coal, sparking a warning for Australian exporters.

Amid swirling debate among conservative politicians over decarbonisation, energy bosses have warned against turning away from net zero despite cost pressures.

Touted as a model for the energy transition, a "quick and easy" high-voltage powerline project linking South Australia directly to New South Wales is running dramatically over time and over budget.

The WA government is facing fresh questions over its bailout of Griffin Coal — a mine critical to the state's energy system — amid revelations taxpayer money is leaking offshore.

In the same way Apple and Samsung used different phone chargers, many clean tech products are not compatible with others. Experts say it is a big problem for the energy transition.

Coal power plant revelation undercuts WA plan to phase out coal

BHP dumps solar, battery projects that promised to cut emissions

Consumer advocates are calling for an overhaul of the market mechanism that allows wholesale power prices in Australia’s biggest grid to soar to the highest levels in the world. 

As Australia's energy transition hits turbulence, a quiet but fundamental shift is underway.

For the first time, battery sales in Australia have surpassed sales of solar panels. Now retail giant Bunnings wants a piece of the action. 

Australian power demand rose relentlessly until 2008, when it stopped growing. That record has finally been eclipsed, and experts say it is a sign of things to come.

A gas development backed by media mogul Kerry Stokes has been tapping into Western Australia's domestic gas market to supply overseas customers amid long delays in the delivery of the plant.

For so long a mere dream for its advocates and board riders, an artificial reef on WA's south coast is delivering near-perfect waves.

For all Australia's success in adopting rooftop solar, millions of people are missing out. Now a new trial is aiming to overcome that divide through trading. 

When all the hype and the fury are stripped away, the decision to extend the life of the gigantic North West Shelf LNG plant boils down to one thing — enabling the Browse gas project off the Kimberley coast.

Demand for household batteries in Australia is on the cusp of an explosion, and new data suggest most people are motivated by personal considerations. 

In the rush to install ever more solar and, now, batteries on people's homes, one consumer warns of the risks of giving control to big energy.

A top energy expert says governments must ensure households that can't access subsidies for batteries still get a benefit, and must not be penalised. 

Gas consumption in Australia is falling faster than anticipated, helping to avoid the risks of seasonal shortages in the next few years, according to energy commentators.

Once, governments stumbled over themselves to shower money on rooftop solar owners. No longer — payments have tanked up to 99.93 per cent for exports.
