Recent data shows that increased solar energy generation can lead to instability within Australia's power system. During peak sunlight, too much solar power can create excess energy that overwhelms the grid, causing energy market operators to call for solar shutdowns. As officials push for a transition to renewables, this push exemplifies the challenges of managing intermittent energy supplies during different times of the day.
As solar power usage skyrockets, traditional energy sources, especially coal and gas, are being turned to as backup systems. With South Australia experiencing shortages in reliable electricity, calls to revive old diesel generators reflect the urgency of the situation. Experts argue that a complete overhaul of the energy strategy is necessary—including the potential re-introduction of nuclear power—to maintain system stability and ensure that energy demands are met.
The ongoing debate regarding Australia’s energy transition often overlooks the critical principles of engineering and physics. Experts caution that the ambitious plans set forth by officials do not align with tangible needs for reliable and stable electricity. Without addressing the fundamental issues that accompany the renewable energy transition, Australia may continue to face the dire consequences of energy instability.
Australia's energy market faces significant turmoil as new evidence reveals the challenges in managing the increasing reliance on solar energy. Recent reports from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) indicate that the country is experiencing critical electricity shortages that resulted in urgent recommendations to reduce solar output during peak sun hours. With more than four million rooftop solar systems installed, what was once viewed as an eco-friendly revolution is now raising alarms about the stability of the nation's power grid, prompting discussions about traditional energy sources like coal and gas.Numpties. Can you believe this is happening? It keeps getting worse. Take responsibility for this mess you have got us into please. 🇦🇺
Its remarkable how quickly Labor has managed to turn a somewhat messy and outdated grid into an unreliable and expensive disaster.
Go home of a evening and do no washing , low air con , seems like with all the sun we are over heating. What about the sun changing getting hotter , Revelation 16: better read whole chapter.
China would love this . They could probably do it. Most people purchased their own panels , yet this Good old Bowen plan can tell you when you can use it ? What a FJ.
