AEMO found that because of extended outages and"the continued deterioration of the reliability of ageing brown coal units", energy reliability in Victoria would get worse.
"If both power station outages were extended over the summer, and if no additional supply was secured, involuntary load shedding may be experienced in Victoria during extreme weather events, potentially over multiple events, equivalent to between 260,000 and 1.3 million households being without power for four hours," the report warns.AEMO chief executive Audrey Zibelman said the continued use of back-up generation was unsustainable.
Longer term, NSW's energy reliability will decrease as Liddell gradually closes, if no alternative is built in the interim. By 2023-24, NSW faces a similar situation to the one Victoria will confront this summer due to increased demand on hot days and unexpected outages at ageing power plants.
People voted for it so they can suck it up.
abc news supports energy co’s to scaremonger unlikely “energy outages”? supporting excuses and cop outs? Energy co’s should engage fed & state to ethically and sustainably supply energy! Regardless of the mix. They’re energy experts no?! Thats their only purpose! Not politics 👍
Give homeowners with Solar Batteries, permission to use the stored electricity their own batteries produce. This would allow everyone else in their States, to enjoy no breaks to electricity, over the hot summer.
Why is it only supporters of wind and solar that are surprised that you need reliable base load power?
No shock here.
I guess we’re not switching to electric cars this summer ABC?
