Daily Energy News Podcast | WA’s 470 MW Wind Drought-Breaker, Marinus Link Breaks Ground & RedEarth’s Collapse
In today's episode for Friday, 2 October 2026, Atmos Renewables achieves financial close on the 470 MW Parron Maam Marang wind farm in Western Australia—the largest wind finance deal in the nation in over two years—as WA solidifies its position accounting for over half of all active wind builds. Out in Bass Strait, construction officially begins on the multi-billion-dollar Marinus Link interconnector, while the contested VNI West line enters its final Environment Effects Statement public exhibition just weeks ahead of the Victorian election. Meanwhile, South Australia breaks ranks with the eastern states by freezing rules that would have forced new gas connections to pay upfront costs, leaving existing customers with a $155 million bill. In local manufacturing, Brisbane-based home battery maker RedEarth Energy Storage enters voluntary administration under pressure from cheap imported cells, Atlassian signs a 10-year PPA with a 288-investor community solar farm in Goulburn, and the Bureau of Meteorology confirms Australia just endured its second-hottest September on record.
