The Australia issue of Future Power Technology is out now and you can read it here for free on all devices.
In this special issue of Future Power Technology Australia, we gain an insight into the Australian Government’s National Energy Guarantee (NEG), which has been introduced as part of a promise to secure low emission, reliable energy for the nation. While many welcome the certainty it brings, it has been met with anger by green power advocates who argue it will further entrench big fossil fuel companies. We check in on both sides of the debate.

By GlobalDataWe also take a look at the latest and greatest power projects kicking off in Australia’s energy industry, profile some of the country’s most advanced and paradigm-shifting renewable energy projects – from solar PV windows to a green hydrogen hub – and delve deeper into Australia’s budding battery business.
Plus, we profile the Coopers Gap windfarm project, which is expected to bring jobs, as well as lower carbon emissions and household bills once completed, and ask whether anything can be done to address Australia’s notoriously high energy prices as the country transitions to a more environmentally, business and pocket friendly energy backbone.

Preview – Future Power October
A new report published by Eurelectric examines the impact blockchain will have on Europe’s distribution network operators. The digital ledger technology is a potential threat to operators, offering a cheaper and more efficient alternative, but with it comes concerns of a monopolised network system. Could blockchain spell the end for the traditional network distribution model?
We also find out more about a mobile app that allows Northern Powergrid customers to win cash prizes by turning off appliances at times of peak demand, consider whether a big city can retrofit its already vast network of drinking water and sewage pipes with turbines capable of producing hydropower, and in a special roundtable feature we ask experts for their opinions on new nuclear in the UK.
Plus, we talk to Centrica about how an organisation as large and unwieldy as the NHS could benefit from an energy upgrade, investigate the role of water in the coal supply chain, and address the £1.3bn worth of energy loss in the UK due to poor cabling.
