Australia's solar curtailment nearly halves in August as generation climbs, says Rystad Energy

Australia's utility-scale solar generation surged in August 2026 with a 3% increase year-on-year and solar curtailment nearly halved, falling from 18% to 9% of available generation, driven by record outputs in key states, according to Rystad Energy. This reduction in curtailment and rising solar supply eased wholesale market price pressures despite wind generation declines.
