In September 2025, Australia reached a landmark moment: for the first time since the National Electricity Market (#NEM) began in 1998, #renewables supplied more electricity than coal. This achievement signals a fundamental shift in the nation’s energy mix and sets the stage for businesses to rethink how they manage power.

For commercial and industrial (C&I) operators, as well as grid‑scale developers, the implications are clear. As renewable penetration rises, Battery Energy Storage Systems (#BESS) become the critical enabler—ensuring reliability, stabilising supply and unlocking new opportunities for cost optimisation.

KTECK customers are already using BESS to:
🌞 Smooth variability in #solar and #wind output, keeping operations stable.
🌞 Optimise energy costs by storing #power when wholesale prices are low and discharging during peaks.
🌞 Strengthen resilience against #grid disturbances, protecting critical processes.
🌞 Accelerate #sustainability goals while maintaining #compliance with evolving NEM requirements.

Australia’s milestone reflects a broader global trend. In the first half of 2025, renewables overtook coal as the world’s leading source of #electricity for the very first time. This global shift reinforces what Australian businesses are experiencing locally: #cleanenergy is no longer a future ambition, it is the present reality.

With renewables now leading both at home and abroad, investment in #storage is the decisive step for businesses to turn this transition into a competitive advantage. Whether you need a compact C&I system or a large‑scale grid asset, KTECK’s BESS solutions are designed to help Australian enterprises thrive in this new energy era.
