Wind generation overtakes brown coal in June, in month of new records

" Wind generation overtook brown coal to become Australia’s second largest source of electricity generation in June, a month of records for wind including highest ever monthly total production nation-wide.

According to the latest data from Rystad Energy’s senior analyst in renewables research, David Dixon, June 2022 was “all about wind,” with all wind assets in the NEM and the WEM generating 2839GWh, wind’s highest month on record.

Records were also set in both Victoria and Tasmania, with the latter state’s wind assets producing an all-time high total of 191GWh for the month, and all four of its operational wind farms operating at a capacity factor greater than 45%. "
