Well the SA gov't sure stirred the pot.
Now the French company Engie has announced that, having closed their Hazelwood coal fired plant in Victoria, they will spend $40m to refurbish a gas powered generator at Pelican Point in SA and bring another 240MW onto the grid.
In addition, Lyon Group has announced that it plans to have a 330MW solar + 440MWh battery system operating at Morgan in the SA Riverland by Christmas - in addition to a previously announced 100MW solar/200MWh battery project at the BHP Olympic Dam mine in SA. The Riverland solar farm is claimed to be the biggest in the world, with 3.4million solar panels and 1.1 million batteries.
finally, stuff is happening. Seems that all it needed was for somebody - anybody - to put forward a coherent plan - any plan - for the future.
