In an article on the power outage the ABC has blamed the grid and generators.
200,000 customers lost power yesterday.
The broadcaster then claimed renewables supplied 40% of state power.
This is complete BS.
The AEMO data dashboard showed renewables contributing only about 7%.
My weather station had sun energy at 11 extreme on a scale of 1-12.
If solar failed when there is so much energy about then it is a woftam

Victoria does not get 40 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, it is aiming to do so in six years time

In 2016, the Victorian state government announced new renewable energy targets. By 2020, 25 percent of Victoria’s electricity will come from clean renewable energy. By 2025, that will rise to 40 percent.
