At 18:05 today wind and solar are producing a total of 1.49% of the demand in the NEM.

Yes I know it is a bad time to measure solar output but it is what it is.

My question for the learned ones on here is how many, and.what size will the batteries have to be to get the NEM through to tomorrow morning say 06:00. This requirement will not change no matter how much wind and solar you have installed given these events do occur.

Hydro is chucking in about 15% at this time but this will fall away as the evening progresses and indeed will reverse once they start pumping the water up the hills.

I am not disputing the decarbonisation will continue I am just asking what is the volume of batteries that will be required if anyone can help out.

Why would they pump water uphill on hydro generation at night?
Don't post nonsense, hydro is pumped uphill during the middle of the day when electricity is the cheapest.
