It is the biggest contribution to ocean conservation anywhere on the planet this year. The Heard and McDonald Islands marine reserve will quadruple in size, an increase of almost 310,000 km2 – an area larger than Italy – and will provide greater protections for an environment unlike anywhere else in the world.
The islands are a territory (Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands) of Australia administered from Hobart by the Australian Antarctic Division of the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
The group's overall land area is 372 km 2 (144 sq mi) and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean and have been an Australian territory since 1947. Heard Island and McDonald Islands contain Australia's only two active volcanoes.
Since the first landing on Heard Island in 1855, there have been only approximately 240 shore-based visits to the island, and only two landings on McDonald Island (in 1971 and 1980).
Heard Island - 80% ice-covered, bleak and mountainous, dominated by a large massif (Big Ben) and an active volcano (Mawson Peak); McDonald Islands - small and rocky fish Mawson Peak, an active volcano, is on Heard Island

Edwaleni Solar Power Station, is a 100 megawatts solar power plant under construction in Eswatini. The solar farm is under development by Frazium Energy, a subsidiary of the Frazer Solar Group, an Australian-German conglomerate. The solar component is complemented by a battery energy storage system,. . The development sits on 45 hectares (110 acres) of real estate, provided by the Eswatini government. The power station is located in the town of , in , in central Eswatini. The solar farm sits adjacent to the. . The cost of construction is reported to be US$115 million (approx. €98.8 million). Commercial commissioning is anticipated in the second half of 2022. . The power station is owned and is being developed by Frazium Energy from Germany. The design calls for the installation of 75,000 solar panels on 45 hectares (110 acres), on a site that measures 54 hectares (130 acres). The solar component will be. . • • . • As of May 2022. [pdf]
There are currently five power plants operating in Eswatini with a total installed capacity of close to 110 MW. These plants utilize hydro, biomass, and solar PV plant technologies. The rest of the electricity required is imported from South Africa (Eskom) and occasionally Mozambique (EDM).
The Eswatini Electricity Company, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Employer’, is a vertically integrated parastatal company responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power throughout Eswatini. The Employer’s address is: Address is the same as above.
Although Eswatini's electrification rates are relatively high, they are still a long way off 100% (the country's target for 2022). Solar power is the most viable solution for Eswatini to help meet its electrification goals and save costs down the line.
