Over the past 28 days, South Australia (SA) has averaged peak generation from solar & wind of 105% of demand (130% on the best day). On each day over the past month, solar + wind generated between 48% and 102% of total daily electricity demand, with an average of 79% These numbers are rapidly increasing. SA is connected to the eastern states by a skinny interconnector that will soon be augmented, allowing much larger exports of solar & wind. SA has a very stable grid with no coal, hydro or nuclear generation. Average wholesale electricity spot price in January is about US$50/MWh. The OpenElectricity figure shows midnight-to-mignight generation averaged over 28 days: solar rooftop & farms (light & dark yellow), wind (green), gas (orange), blue (batteries) and imports (purple).
