Daily Energy News Podcast | Coalition Pledges Climate "Chainsaw" & AGL Files 4 GWh 8-Hour Giant
In today's episode for Wednesday, 23 September 2026, the federal Coalition drops a political bombshell as Dan Tehan unveils an eight-point energy policy promising to dismantle Australia's Climate Change Act, scrap the Safeguard Mechanism, kill the Capacity Investment Scheme, and revoke four offshore wind zones within 30 days of taking office. Meanwhile at The Australian's energy summit, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli breaks ranks, insisting on coal and gas for data centres while refusing to lift Queensland's nuclear ban. In utility storage, AGL escalates the duration race by lodging plans for an immense 500 MW / 4,000 MWh eight-hour battery in Bathurst, while Valent Energy’s 240 MW Mornington battery finally reaches full power. Plus, AEMO pivots toward replacing synchronous condensers with grid-forming inverters, ARENA backs autonomous solar inspection robots with $25 million, and Adelaide researchers tell Australians to stop pointing rooftop panels north.
