“Wind and solar power is far cheaper than electricity generated by gas, so an increased proportion of renewables will push prices lower,” the government said in its statement.

“This will unlock the potential for mining, processing, and manufacturing to produce carbon-neutral goods for the world’s markets – driving SA prosperity.” It said this synergy between investment and renewables is already being borne out by the contract to supply BHP’s Olympic Dam mine.

South Australia’s high proportion of renewables – which exceeded 75 per cent of generation in 2023 – is key to South Australian prices being far lower than the black-coal states of NSW and Queensland.

Generation and network costs are by far the biggest components of household electricity bills. Retailers must acknowledge that their costs have fallen – and pass on that price cut to households and businesses.

" Why are interstate interconnections needed? Because SA needs to be saved when there is no wind and solar. "So South Australia can be genuine power exporter rather than a net importer like they used to be. Sorry l had to explain that for you .

So please tell us the last time SA consumer power prices fell as result of wind and solar?

It hasn't happened in SA or anywhere else in the world!

Wow you SA SA prices are far lower than the Eastern states! Since when has the SA consumer seen that?

Just woke noise there Acorn.
