Renewables 'Eliminate' Base Load Reliance in South Australia
Picture: Nathan Rodriguez. An Australian state once ridiculed for its reliance on renewable energy sources is being used as a global example of how traditional “base load” generation can be eliminated from the electricity supply system. South Australia already leads the nation in the uptake of wind energy and roof-top solar with renewable sources accounting for more than 50 per cent of the electricity generated in the state. This followed the closure of the state’s last coal-fired...
