In Australia’s national electricity market, on Saturday, September 22, solar and wind energy accounted for 80.4% of electricity demand. For the grid covering the eastern states, South Australia and the Capital Territory, this recorded figure shows that rooftop solar panels alone met more than half of the demand for about 30 minutes at lunchtime.

Some of the excess energy was taken up by pumped hydroelectric storage and batteries. A portion was curtailed by the system’s security rules, network constraints, and low wholesale prices brought about by excess supply at the same time. At the end of the same week, coal production in Queensland reached a record low.
