The federal government of Australia has been urged to take a careful review of the Chinese government’s interest in Australia’s electricity grid and consider confiscating some of the equipment amid rising fears of remote attacks and sabotage.

Researchers have found that regions with large investment in renewable energy have stronger electric grids, contrary to popular belief. Select policymakers and industry advocated have said that state and federal policies that support renewable energy put the reliability of the electric grid at risk by pushing nuclear and coal power plants into early closure.

Zero-emission electricity is now affordable for Australians without the risks of being left without power. With the rapidly changing electricity prices and rise of alternative sources of energy to the grid, the Australian Government is reviewing the market to ensure reliable and secure power can be provided to all.

It is expected that in roughly three years battery storage in Australian households will be ‘the norm’, thanks to it’s cost-effective nature. Enphase Energy, a technology company based in California, says that this change is because of the potential savings made when combining battery storage with rooftop solar systems.
