Australian power prices are set to decrease for consumers and small businesses, with benchmark prices falling up to 10% for households and significantly more for businesses. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) and Essential Services Commission have decided to cut default market offers and benchmark prices in several states, driven by increased renewable energy and better reliability from coal-fired generators.

Australian residents oppose datacentre expansion near homes amid AI boom concerns

Residents in three Australian cities are opposing the rapid expansion of datacentres near residential areas, citing concerns over noise, environmental impact, and inadequate planning processes. The M3 datacentre in West Footscray, Melbourne, is set to double in size by 2027, while similar facilities are proposed in Sydney's Lane Cove and Perth's Hazelmere. Local councils say they have been sidelined in approval processes, while industry argues datacentres are critical for Australia's digital future.

UK to raise windfall tax on electricity generators to 55% unless they sign fixed-price contracts

The UK Treasury will increase the windfall tax on electricity generators from 45% to 55% unless they sign long-term fixed-price contracts, in a bid to protect bill payers from gas price shocks. Owners of legacy renewable energy projects face the higher tax rate until they sign contracts for difference. The measures aim to delink electricity prices from gas prices as UK household bills are expected to rise from July due to the Middle East conflict pushing up global energy costs.
