Feb 1 Equis Energy said on Wednesday it plans to build two solar power plants for A$400 million ($303 million) in Australia, marking the Singapore-based renewable energy developer's first investments in the country.

With $11.5m in fresh funding Melbourne renewable energy technology company GreenSync is preparing to test international markets, CEO Phil Blythe tells Jeremy Chunn.

Australia is at an energy crossroads and decisions made today have the potential to redefine the country’s energy future tomorrow. We are all familiar with the term, ‘Digital Natives’, who are key to shaping our economy. However, the bigger question could be, whether Australia can become the world’s first ‘Solar & Storage Natives’?

Electricity from PV plants represented 10.2% of the nation’s electricity mix in 2016. Honduras also leads Central America as the country with the highest PV capacity with 433 MW-AC installed.
