It’s going to be hot.

With above-average temperatures and a higher risk of severe heatwaves expected this summer, most of us will be trying to keep our homes as cool as we can.

But running the aircon all day isn’t the only answer.

Could renters and apartment owners soon have an easier way to generate their own solar power?

Australia’s energy ministers are exploring how to legalise plug-in “balcony solar”: a compact systems that can connect through a normal power point and don’t require rooftop access.

And that’s only one of several big energy stories worth watching right now.

There’s also new funding for cheaper and more efficient solar technology, a major green manufacturing project in Tasmania, and a regulator pushing back on billion-dollar transmission cost overruns.

We’ve wrapped up the latest energy sector news and what it could mean for Australian households in our latest blog.
