ELECTRICAL FAULT

-

JASON (CP, 19/5) is confused about electricit­y generation in Australia.

In 2021, renewables continued to grow and supplied 31.4 per cent (not 8 per cent) of all electricit­y generation in our national electricit­y market while coal and gas fell to new lows.

In the case of South Australia, renewables provided 65.7 per cent of all electricit­y in 2021, with a record-breaking 6.5-day run in December where renewables powered everything plus exported power elsewhere.
