In today's jam-packed episode for Friday, 12 June 2026, we broadcast the definitive wrap-up of an absolute blockbuster week for the energy sector. We break down the formal completion of Singapore state-backed Sembcorp’s staggering $6.5 billion acquisition of Alinta Energy. We celebrate a historic engineering milestone as the Golden Plains Wind Farm becomes the first wind asset in Australian history to breach 1 gigawatt of active generation. Plus, the formal opening of RWE's landmark 8-hour Limondale battery, the AER’s critical warning on short-duration storage depletion, and why German inverter giant SMA is officially retreating from the Australian residential solar market.
