Its seems all the green eggs have now hatched shortly we are going to pay the price we were warned by some of the experts. this will happen .Australia a country rich in coal gas uranium hydro wind and sun and we have an energy crisis. Unbelievable this stinks of profiteering by the multi nationals.
Solution bring back Tommy Playfords ETSA.
Over the last 15 years there has been sweet **** all done by any energy minister.
All the reports and studies have been done and no decisions.
A lot of consultants have made a crap load of money doing studies so it looks like the energy ministers were actually doing something
At least the last state government approved a new interconnection
Exactly, alot of nothing happening. Especially at Fed level.
The Libs approved the interconnection and the previous Labor government built the 200MW of standby diesel power station. Which was then sold off by the Libs to a private company who have taken them offline to convert to gas and moved them to Bolivar. Hopefully they'll be energised soon and that's an additional 200MW to SAs grid. Actually not a bad solution to moved them from standby to a market player. Personally I think the government should of hung in to them, the overall solution was always to convert them to gas and then have a state owned generator running, jus to keep AGL honest, in which over the last 10 years in this state AGL have been far from honest.
Still that's alot more than what the feds have done.
Feds talked and talked about a new coal fired station but of course never happened.
Snowy 2.0 has been delayed and delayed.
Honestly they need to get these projects going.
Also start punishing these generators that have been gaming the market. AGL have done that for the last 10 years in SA, made huge profits and nothing.
