"Renewable energy generation set a new record on Australia’s National
Electricity Market on Wednesday, with the combined contributions from rooftop
solar, and large-scale solar and wind pushing past 70 per cent briefly at 11am
and then again at 11.45am, at an all-time high of 70.6%.
The new record for maximum instantaneous share of renewables on the NEM beats
the record set only one day earlier, of 69.1% at midday on September 19, and
notches up a major new milestone in Australia’s transition to a grid powered
mostly by solar and wind.
The 70.6% high, which is bound to be bested again very soon, was largely
brought to us by a huge chunk of rooftop solar generation, which as you can see
below contributed more than half of the new record with a 37.4% share at
11.45am.
Utility-scale solar contributed 17.7% at the time of the record, while wind
contributed 13.8%.
On the flip-side, the share of coal on the NEM was crushed to new lows, setting
its own records on that metric on the NEM and in some of Australia’s most coal
dependent states."
