South Australia runs on more than 100 pct net renewables in last week of winter

South Australia this week announced it will seek to legislate its new accelerated target of reaching 100 per cent net renewables – annualised – in 2027, and this week illustrated how that might be done by doing the same over a whole week.

This is not the first time such a weekly share of renewables has been met, but we think it might be the first time in winter – helped by strong winds across the southern part of the country, part of an extraordinary weather system that established new winter heat records in many states, including South Australia.

South Australia’s target of 100 per cent net renewables is world leading because it will be delivered by wind and solar, both variable renewable energy sources, and not hydro or geothermal.
