South Australia – the state with a world-leading average share of renewable energy of more than 71.5 per cent in its grid – is expected to reach “net” 100 per cent renewables within four years, according to the state’s transmission company.

The stunning prediction by ElectraNet, the first time it has been formally acknowledged by such an authority, is all the more remarkable because in South Australia renewables means wind and solar, because there is no hydro, geothermal or even biomass power to speak of.

South Australia would be the first grid of its size to reach such a milestone. Its share of wind and solar is also unmatched in a grid of its size in a modern economy.
