These things cost a lot of money. Why do they need upgrading? Because we are silly enough to subsidise investors to build renewable energy generation hundreds of Kilometres from where the energy is needed.
How much will this bad planning cost? Not the $20Billion which Albanese says but a whopping $1,000Billion according to the CSIRO.
For example the 'famous' Snowy 2 "water battery" is so far from where energy is needed that you will need new transmission lines even to keep Canberra's lights on in winter. BUT where is the industrial need? The Albury paper mill has closed, there is the Port Kembla Steel works and the Tomago Smelter or perhaps even electrifying the Canberra to Cooma rail line or the imaginary Sydney to Melbourne very fast train. Remember too that wires have resistance and that equals waste and heat and the longer the wires the more the waste.
Renewable energy must be immediately affordable and if it means doubling the National Debt it is not affordable.

It's madness to ignore the answer to the energy crisis that's lying under our feet
