Oh but wait - renewables can manage solo can’t they in each state?
That is like relying on the titanic to come and rescue your sinking ship.
What a flog. We have to rely on a state that has unreliable power to start with. Thanks Labor and the Greeny Thingies.
Can’t be serious
More blackouts and higher prices.
More storage? How about MORE GENERATED - aka coal but Dunny Andrews taxes Hazelwood into oblivion and early closure 👎😡 springst auspol
Maybe simonahac could lend victoria his wind farm.
Has any one told this LiberalAus government
What the state the LNP says will have more blackouts because they have renewables that will fail when wind doesn't blow and sun doesn't shine and not more coal power? They forgot to mention SA has battery storage and gas fired for quick backup .
What's the problem it'll be good for climate change
Victoria will need its own diesel generators.
How's that power station closure working out for you now DanielAndrewsMP
Expect Sky News Daytime lefties to ignore this....... won’t hear anything discussed on this until after 6pm.
Oh so the ‘expert’ for this story is a liberal. Ok yeah.
The greatest endorsement of JayWeatherill and alpsa
AStrongerOZ Expect mass blackouts and further huge power price increases across the country when the Labor 45% RET is rolled out Australia wide...
Well that's marvelous, they can share the battery.
This is who you voted for. Enjoy.
thanks Climate science
That's really funny. SA can't even keep their own power working 😂😂😂
Yeah. That’d be that big battery that stabilises delivery to load. Welcome to the present, climate-change-denying morons.
Shit third world governments running 1st word country...
Rely on SA ? Is that a joke they cannot even keep their own lights on.
Wtf. Thought solar was crap. Better not tell the Libs auspol
What don't tell me SA is starting up there diesel generators Hell hope the wind blows and the sun shines if not coff coff on diesel or no power who would have thought
As sad as that is, it's actually quite funny one week into a new 4 year term for Andrews. Enjoy Victoria, you deserve it!
Can we just cut the umbilical cord off,and let SA and VIC live the RE dream?
Hey greenies in the Eastern Suburbs, congratulations on voting Dan back in, also enjoy you're power outages this summer, i hope they come and persist on the hottest night's we get this year. Signed someone who did not vote for dropkick Dan.
The whole government is corrupt! Time to take back our constitution with adding more protections to it so NO acts can be put in to swindle illegal ‘local governments’ in!!! We vote for the people to govern not ‘them’
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WTF?!?! South Australia can't rely on South Australia for stable power! How do you expect anyone else to rely on them? ThanksDan DontBlameMeIVotedALA inthedark
Time to get on with it.
Well, that and their grind needs to be upgrades as its the distribution points that are over loaded. But irony of ironies.

Power skyrocketed, but you can't talk about that becauce you help them remove it. DUMB DECISION THAT.

But it seems Australians have made the decision to let the infrastructure become 'dated'. Why? Australians are used to hot weather in the summer? And we're supposedly a first world nation? Or she couldve blamed the UN for making us shut down coal stations but allowing India to build more and making us a third world nation How can that be possible ? Renewables were delivering only 30% of their capacity Coal was crank up to meet renewables shortfall ! How does this fool justify the price of renewables going from $100 to $14,500 per Mw
