@DavidOsmond8 @OBenPotter More to the point, how could anyone be surprised? Latrobe Valley was at max output through the summer; spilling excess into Tasmania & ruining their emissions intensity.
Plus when Vic supply shorted, SA couldn't use it to stop their $14,000/MWh pain. 2/3

@DavidOsmond8 @OBenPotter You would think with Port Augusta solar thermal failing last week, some thought would be given as to why firm supply seems to be so hard to build. And do people seriously think *more* wind & solar will make that any easier, or prices lower?
Simply ridiculous. 3/3
