battery, innovation, national electricity market, solar, technologyLike many other power systems around the world, Australia’s electricity industry is rapidly transforming. This is being driven by a transition to low emissions generation, the rise of rooftop solar and large scale wind generation. New technologies and changing human behaviour are also having a significant influence on this change. Click on this short video to understand how it all works!
