Solar farms asked to reduce output as uptake challenges remote West Murray power grid stability
4.2.2020
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) says the scale and pace of solar and wind generators being connected in remote areas of the national grid is "presenting unprecedented technical issues" affecting the grid's performance and operational stability ...

Investors with interest in developing new projects near the Victoria-New South Wales border are still lining up, even though grid stability issues there have forced five operational solar farms to halve the amount of energy they are feeding into the network.

The five solar farms in the so-called the West Murray region — which spans north-west Victoria and the far west of NSW taking in Broken Hill, Bannerton, Wemen, Gannawarra and Karadoc —

were ordered by AEMO to cut their energy output after a technical fault in September put the stability of the entire national grid at risk.
