Australia's main electricity grid will be able to accommodate up to 75 per cent renewable energy as soon as 2025, a higher share delivered sooner than the most optimistic previous assessments.
Australia's main electricity market will have the technical capability to handle as much as three-quarters of supply from renewable energy as soon as 2025.The tumbling cost and speed of building new solar and wind farms has already helped expand clean energy's share to about a quarter of the National Electricity Market. As recently as February, the Energy Security Board was predicting clean energy's share of supply would be 40 per cent by 2030.
Achieving the three-quarter share will need changes in markets and regulation otherwise AEMO will have to impose curbs on renewable energy to ensure grid stability, Ms Zibelman said. AEMO earlier this week revealed more about its view of the future grid in a note to stakeholders about the role technologies such as pumped hydro and batteries will play.
Despite those revisions, an AEMO spokesman said they did "not apply to the Snowy 2.0 project", the $5 billion-plus plan announced by the Turnbull government to expand Snowy Hydro's existing capacity."[T]he pumped hydro cost increases referred to in the ‘progress update on 2020 ISP’ only apply to future, and as yet uncommitted, pumped hydro projects in mainland Australia," he said.

China turning its dispute with Australia into a 'China versus US issue' | Sky News AustraliaThe Chinese Communist government is trying to make its dispute with Australia a 'China versus US issue,' but it has nothing to do with President Donald Trump, it is about the 'origins of a virus that is creating havoc' says Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nIn recent weeks China - primarily through its Ambassador to Australia Jingye Cheng - has 'bristled' at Australia's call for an independent global investigation into the origins of the virus.\n\nThe Ambassador first threatened a potential consumer boycott on Australian exports, and then on Tuesday leaked a private conversation with Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Frances Adamson.\n\n'You'd think China would welcome it but instead they take it as a slight, and worse they bully Australia through their ambassador,' he said.\n\nMr Kenny said the issue of an international investigation should be about 'shared global vulnerability and therefore global co-operation'.\n\n'It's time we heard from many more countries on this, supporting Australia's logical position, and putting pressure on Beijing'.\n\nResources Minister Keith Pitt told Mr Kenny what is important is 'ensuring what's happening right around the world right now never ever again'.\n\nImage: AP It is Morrison and Dutton want the focus from Aussie paedo churches to be shifted away. Would we be happy if China called for a global investigation into Australia.

Australia ‘owes Captain Cook a special debt’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny has reflected on the “greatness” of Captain James Cook saying, “this is a man who pushed the boundaries of human endurance and curiosity”. \n\nWednesday marks 250 years since Captain Cook’s voyage to Australia, in which he landed at Botany Bay. \n\n“The entire scientific world owes much to his endeavours, but we in Australia owe him a special debt,' Mr Kelly said.\n\nMr Kenny said while he is “never one to downplay the continuing horrible disadvantage of Indigenous Australians, I also celebrate the fact that this history brought our ancestors together”. \n\n“Because the advantages we enjoy together today, still outweigh the disadvantages that we must overcome”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Squatter with sailing skills. Cook was an imperialist of his age. Best forgotten in a changed world. Oh my.....what a ridiculous and insensitive comment.
