Solar power overtakes coal-powered electricity in Australia for the first time!

Even though this lasted only for a few minutes, more than half of Australia's electricity generation (57%) came from solar power on Sunday 23rd August for the first time, since the market was set up two decades ago.

Whilst Australia is still a long way from peak renewable energy according to the experts, this milestone marks a promising future for the nation's renewable energy industry.

NT WorkSafe links damaged powerline to 11-year-old boy's death in Gunbalanya!

A damaged powerline has been linked to the death of the 11-year-old boy in Gunbalanya, last October. The child was attempting to climb into a "secured external area" of a home in the community when he came in to contact with the live surface.
As per NT WorkSafe's findings, insulation on the overhead powerline got damaged over time due to exposure to the elements and the damaged area reportedly made contact with a stainless-steel wire, energising both it and a metal hook it was connected to. The hook itself attached to the home's metal roof, which then had 240 volts of electricity running through it. Also, neither the roof nor the hook were solidly earthed as required by safety standards.
NT's electricity provider has offered its "sincere condolences" to the family of the deceased child and had since inspected electrical supply installations at all other homes in the area.
