Australia's Northern Territory government has backed what's thought to be the world's largest solar-plus-storage scheme. The project, which is expected to cost AUD20bn ($14bn), will combine 10 GW of solar capacity with 20-30 GWh of storage. It was announced in December that a consortium led by French energy giant EDF had won an auction for the project. Talks on securing a project development agreement are to begin soon.
