117 - Installed capacity by physical attributes, NEM as at June2016

Charts 116 through to 120 are a series from the Australian Energy Market Operator's South Australian Fuel and Technology Report, 2017, which can be accessed here.

The chart below shows the spread of synchronous and non-synchronous generation across NEM regions, with SA having the highest proportion of non-synchronous generation.

100 - New large-scale solar plants 2016

The Clean Energy Council's 2016 renewable energy report is a great summary of some vital statistics on Australian renewable energy from a variety of states.

The chart below shows a stack of new large scale solar farms in Australia 

080 - New renewable power stations map

An interesting data set from the Clean Energy Regulator showing the new power stations that were accredited in 2016 and the first half of 2017, along with new power stations that are set to be built, shown on a map. Enjoy!

079 - New renewable energy power stations in Australia

077 - Small wind turbine installations in Australia map

The Clean Energy Regulator makes installation data for small-scale wind turbines available as part of their incentive scheme - the map shows installed capacity by postcode.

050 - Australian rooftop solar installation data - Monthly

The Clean Energy Regulator makes detailed postcode-level data on solar PV installations publicly available, and it's updated regularly. The map below shows total installations per month - you can use the month card on the right hand side to navigate:

049 - Australian rooftop solar installation data - 2016

The Clean Energy Regulator makes detailed postcode-level data on solar PV installations publicly available, and it's updated regularly. The map below shows total installations for the full year of 2016 in total kilowatts:

048 - Australian rooftop solar installation data - March 2017

The Clean Energy Regulator makes detailed postcode-level data on solar PV installations publicly available, and it's updated regularly. The map below shows total installations for the month of March 2017:

036 - Changes in installation size over the Solar Bonus Scheme

The NSW solar bonus scheme was launched in January 2010, "to encourage the uptake of renewable energy, handed homeowners 60¢ or 20¢ "feed-in" tariffs per kilowatt hour, for the solar energy they put back into the grid".

The NSW government makes data available on their website detailing installations - the chart below shows the amount of capacity installed each month, broken up by the size of the installation. Bigger installations are darker red; smaller ones are lighter.
