Jean Hudson reports on the fifth SailGP event for 2026 in Bermuda. The year’s first Sail GP in Freo is beginning to feel a long time ago!

in Our Environment
After all the talk and all the chatter, Western Australia is set for the biggest electricity boost in its history, with ten new renewable energy and battery projects just announced on 2 May 2026, across the Wheatbelt, Mid‑West, Peel and South West. Together, they will deliver 1.9 gigawatts of new wind and solar generation and 482 megawatts of battery storage — which, the experts say, is enough to meet the needs of nine in ten WA households.
