Wind power development is blocked Australia's solar industry to meet this opportunity

Comparing the development of wind farms in Australia, continuously the solar industry is booming, rely on the sun energy of large power developers eventually get support from the government.

˙ Tony abbott government under the leadership of the prime minister, this week to provide $7.4 billion in clean energy bank funds support, focus on solar energy development and construction of the project, and stop supporting wind farms.At the same time, another government agency also unveiled a $100 million investment to support large-scale solar power plant project.
Australia wants to stimulate the solar industry developing, the environment minister Greg ˙ hunt, said this week that he "love" large-scale solar power.First solar and another Australian solar companies said they will consider the new project.
The biggest motivation is to promote the development of solar energy costs down.First solar's Asia manager jack ˙ Curtis prediction in a telephone conference, establishing large wind farms and solar power stations in Australia the price gap between two to three years will disappear completely.At present, the construction of wind farms is still cheaper than solar power engineering construction.
"The market is more and more willing to purchase solar instead of wind, even beyond the policy implications."Jack ˙ Curtis said.His company is currently actively strive for government funding support.
Australia's renewable energy agency said more than 1 gw of large solar projects will gradually appear, most of the projects in 10 mw between 50 mw.The agency's chief executive, ivor ˙ Greg west said in an interview that, project the party started at the end of 2016.
Ivor ˙ Greg west added: "we should at least explore for large solar power plants to a cheaper route, and there is no reason to think that it should not follow suit to compete, but without any project doesn't compete with wind problems."
Australia is about to usher in a new round of financing projects, a large solar power project cost may have fallen to about $110 per kilowatt-hour to $130 per kilowatt-hour, before from between $140 and $140 per KWH/KWH.Wind farm power costs for between $80 and $80 per KWH/KWH.
Australia's residential solar panels by government subsidies and cost reduction to encourage, soaring installations.Macao large solar industry is in its infancy, however, only three, the completion of the project 2 projects under construction, lags far behind Romania, Chile and Japan and other countries.
In fact, Australia has long been in the field of solar power.Three years ago, Australia have invested in the country's largest energy company AGL a project, but suffer.The government lead the rooftop solar clean energy finance company investment, emphasis of investment for the development of large-scale solar power station and emerging technologies.
However, wind power is still growing in Australia.According to bloomberg new energy finance reports, predicts 2021, more than half of the new energy supply from the wind.Australian renewable energy agency, said the solar industry is actively adopt some measures to avoid mistakes, make sure you are able to support from the government and the community.At present, the hydropower is Australia's largest renewable power, wind power and solar energy followed suit.
