The milestone of the ARENA initiative

Designed in collaboration with the AEMO and other stakeholders, the ARENA initiative is set to reduce emissions and create smarter energy security in Australia. The aim is to sustain supply during unplanned outages over the next three years. This is done by smoothing out peaks in electricity demand.

Kick-starting smart energy with the ARENA and AEMO initiative

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will soon trial a $22.5 million initiative for better electricity demand response in Victoria and South Australia.
