WA's South West grid to be boosted by four new batteries
All the storage is due to be connected to the grid before the first of WA's coal-fired power stations closes.
Independent, spin-free coverage of energy, industry and climate in Western Australia cannot happen without your backing.
Boiling Cold allows you and others to be informed about energy, industry and climate in WA with journalism independent of the big end of town.
The energy transition is on, and WA can either embrace it and emerge a winner or be held back by entrenched interests with a short-term outlook.
Mainstream media has to play nice to maintain access to exclusive drops and interviews with chief executives. The price for access is pulling your punches.
Instead Boiling Cold uses industry knowledge, sources, documents and analysis so you get to read what the corporate and government spin doctors would rather be left untouched.
This work requires time and independence, but it will have little impact hidden behind a paywall read by a select few, so Boiling Cold is free for all to read.
That means it can only survive with your support.
Please consider chipping in each month to help others know what's going on and hold the powerful to account so we can push them towards acting in the long term interests of all of us.
Alternatively, a one off tip to would be fantastic.
If you are in a position to offer more substantial support, please make contact.
