An expert panel discussion from Renew Economy

Across global energy markets, utility-scale solar-plus-storage is growing. But so are the challenges: costly interconnection studies, grid-forming capability requirements, transmission and distribution constraints, rising curtailment, and investor pressure to de-risk projects and protect long-term returns. These pressures are shifting how developers approach utility-scale projects, and Australia, the world’s 3rd largest battery market, is at the forefront of the industry evolution.

Now’s the time to adopt solutions that simplify interconnection, reduce capital costs, and increase round trip efficiency to achieve a lower LCOE. Get the inside perspective  by watching this discussion on why battery-centric DC-coupling is reshaping large-scale solar-plus-storage and gaining momentum. Drawing on real projects, including a 400MW/1.6GWh development in Queensland, the session offers practical insight into how developers and EPCs can win projects and deliver long-term value.
