The NT is a year closer to anticipated widespread blackouts, expected to start over the next three years, unless the NT Government invests substantially in fixing looming issues, including addressing renewable energy problems, the NT Utilities Commission has warned.
The independent electricity regulator also said that investments are needed to reach the government’s aim of having 50 percent of electricity generated from renewables by 2030, or face blackouts and higher costs for consumers. Last year, only 6.6 per cent of the NT’s electricity was sourced from renewables.
We have had solar generation sitting idle for years. How soon will it be connected and how much will it contribute?
Never hopefully, it is useless, if we buy this rubbish they must be able to supply 24/7/365 at their cost at a cheaper price than we produce Any batteries or other devices required to bring this rubbish up to standard must be at the suppliers cost, no subsidies , ever.
Agree Boof, spoke to a southerner whom looked into purchasing land to specifically have power producing windmills installed – $12k per year per windmill, BUT, should there be ANY maintenance requirements during the life of these windmills – it was at the cost to the land owner and MANY other caveats – lo and behold a motor on a windmill at Geelong is now the subject of speculation as to how this will play out – READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE YOU SIGN – and don’t forget to thank Albosleazy for withholding this information from the general public….
Sitting on a sea of gas and yet we are facing backouts, who are the fools that keep voting for these Leftard fruit loops?.
It’s the extraction method (horizontal fracturing) that is the problem here. We can’t risk our water supplies.
