Two new solar farms begin full production in NSW, and with nearly 2GW of new large scale solar to be added across the country before summer, and the boom in rooftop continuing, the lowest prices may now occur at midday rather than midnight.

The 11MW Dunblane solar farm in Queensland is far from the biggest solar farm in the country, but is setting some important new benchmarks on construction and financing.

It's budget week in Victoria, and there’s a simple question to be asked: if there’s so much renewable energy ready to go, then why not go bigger?
