Government is moving to expedite a “licensing and grid-connection pathway” for existing solar generation licensees seeking to add battery energy storage.
Senior Minister and Minister of Energy and Business Kerrie Symmonds made the announcement during a media briefing on the state of the energy sector at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre this morning.
He says the move provides a structured and transparent means of unlocking approximately 33.1 megawatts of licensed solar capacity that is currently either curtailed or awaiting connection.
