"If the share of renewables in its local grid were the main criteria, then
South Australia would be a shoe-in for hosting next year’s United Nations
climate jamboree.
The state on Sunday morning posted a spectacular new record for wind output,
breaking total wind and renewable shares at the same time, helped along by some
blustery conditions as a cold front swept across the state.
According to GPE NEMLog, the share of wind energy hit a new peak of 157.2 per
cent of local demand at 5.30 am, beating the record of 155.1 per cent at 4.55
am (AEST) a day earlier. That had broken the previous record of 153.3 per cent
set in late October.
The share of renewables in the state grid also hit a new peak of 157.2 per cent
at the same time on Sunday – given there was no solar.
South Australia already leads the world with an average share of 75 per cent
wind and solar (over a 12 month period), and has an unmatched official target –
first set by then state Liberal government – of reaching 100 per cent net
renewables by the end of 2027.
That target appears on track, with a host of new projects and a lot of new
battery storage entering the grid or going through commissioning and
construction."
