That was nearly 3 years ago and things have changed with renewables far cheaper and fossil fuel more expensive. Now the fossil fuel power needs the subsidies which it's getting and was getting then as massive over payments supplied by their benefactors in Canberra.

You forgot to post the next bit.

"But this subsidy cost is distributed equally across all electricity consumption around the nation; it isn’t allocated to states depending on how many wind farms or solar panels they have installed."

And this part.

"So renewable energy power plants simply can’t possibly be responsible for SA’s increases in wholesale power prices. In fact, logically, all this additional renewable energy bidding in at zero in South Australia can only help to depress wholesale prices, displacing the need for fossil fuel generators that are bidding in at far higher prices."
