DESCRIPTION:Australia’s renewable energy sector has been growing rapidly 
 in the last several years. After a brief introduction to Australia\, it’
 s resources and electricity networks\, I will then give an update of the m
 ajor (GW scale) renewable projects and some other key statistics and miles
 tones in renewables growth for 2021/22.\n\nThis growth has led to transmis
 sion network reviews and formal announcements of renewable energy zones (R
 EZ) in NSW and Queensland. A specific example will be given: Powerlink’s
  Transmission network upgrade between Townsville and Cairns which supports
  Queensland’s Northern renewable energy zone. Both transmission and dist
 ribution network planners are also having to decide how to manage an incre
 asingly variable sources of generation. Options such as more storage\, dem
 and management\, and generation control are all possible solutions. Planni
 ng for and enabling them quickly\, and hopefully at lowest cost\, is an on
 going challenge. Energex are examining MW scale batteries as a genuine mec
 hanism for delivering distribution network capacity upgrades\, and all Dis
 tribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) are examining Dynamic Operatin
 g Envelopes (DOEs) to better manage Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).\n
 \nFinally\, I will mention the (slow) growth of EVs in Australia\, discuss
  the reasons why\, and the implications as this inevitably changes.\n\nSpe
