Wind turbines cannot reliably provide base load. Being lucky and having them generating at the right time is one thing, but to call it base load is pushing it too far.
Watching the Fed energy minister and the SA premier face off yesterday seemed to show that there is no real plan to fix this. The snowy plan can actually help SA, but only if the Vic-SA interconnector capacity is increased by about 30%. This is not a part of any plan I have heard.
