This is just such a great and accessible explanation of how our national electricity market(#NEM) runs that I have to share it. It’s essentially an ‘everything you wanted to know about renewable’s role in how we use electricity’ simple explainer. As an added bonus, it clarifies the role #Gas as #peakers and explains why #nuclear plants don’t get a look-in in the Australian energy generation market. It also uses the South Australia energy profile to foretell where we go from here nationally and provided a real world example of the ‘base load’ that will ultimately be required (shows up the crazy #LNP claims for the lies that they are).
