Western Australia's SWIS grid over the last week.
Including yesterday when the light rooftop solar and dark yellow utility plus wind pushed coal right out of the demand requirement at times.
Bring on the batteries.
Home batteries matched to rooftop solar incoming fast.

It’s hard to believe federal politicians think it’s fine to be members of a registered lobbying organisation sponsored by the peak body for gambling.

In Australia, industrial electricity users can select their retailer, but of course there is only one network servicing each property.
The only way to avoid these monopoly charges is to generate electricity on the premises ('behind-the-meter') with solar or renewable heat-to-power.

The airlines will stop cancelling and delaying flights only when we enforce penalties for them doing that for commercial reasons.
The govt needs to hold the airlines to account with a compensation scheme for avoidable delays and cancellations. It’s worked overseas, it would work here.

The competitive component of industrial electricity bills in Australia, i.e. the retail component, usually accounts for less than half of the total cost.
The non-competitive components, mainly the monopoly network charges, account for most of the bill.
