"South Australia will be able to import up to 750 MW at any one time, and export up to 700 MW [and] more than 1.3 GW in either direction in late 2027.
That is a significant development for #SouthAustralia, which leads the country, and the world, with a share of 72 % wind and solar in the last 12 months, and could have achieved more but for the lack of sufficient storage and transmission capacity that has resulted in heavy #curtailment of wind and solar at times."

Coal generators prefer to continue to generate, even at negative prices, rather than completely shut down [which is even more costly. So] renewable energy is spilled, rather than coal shutdown. We actually have a glut of coal, rather than renewables."
