Electricity from Renewables – SA the World Leader
In March it was announced that South Australia had 75% of its electricity from wind and solar in the previous 12 months – leading the world. We had a goal to be 100% renewable electricity by 2030, but that has had to be revised to 2027! Project EnergyConnect will allow us to send electricity to Sydney at their peak demand times. We are well placed to cater for the uptake in electric vehicles, especially with the growth in home battery systems. I work on projects with the Australian Energy Market Commission to ensure the reliability of the system during the transition.
