In today's episode for Tuesday, 22 September 2026, the NSW Independent Planning Commission prepares to rule on the massive 19-year Hunter Valley Operations coal extension—unlocking 429 million tonnes of coal and 809 million tonnes of lifetime emissions—just as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addresses Climate Week in New York urging global leaders to "match the bravery" of firefighters. Meanwhile, AEMO and Energy Minister Chris Bowen officially validate the weekend's historic grid milestones, confirming renewables supplied 80.4% of National Electricity Market demand as average daily wholesale prices fell to $27/MWh. Danish wind titan Vestas unveils its upgraded V182-7.2 MW turbine targeting Australian low-wind sites, Windlab CEO John Martin breaks down Gawara Baya's financial close and warns on soaring capital costs, and Victoria adopts strict "BYO renewables" data centre rules with 150-metre residential buffers.
