    "The Aurora Solar Energy Project located in Port Augusta, about 300km north of the South Australian capital Adelaide, will incorporate eight hours of storage or 1100 megawatts-hours, allowing it to operate like a conventional coal or gas power station."


    "allowing it to operate like a conventional coal or gas power station."

    My anu5,


    A coal plant will generate 1100 megawatt-hours continuously, not just for one hour;
    and the electricity produced, by the solar storage over its lifetime, will cost 66c / KWHr, about quadruple the current new coal plant cost.


    I am glad I live in Qld!
