Broken Hill battery charges up to create local micro-grid, but why was it disabled in the first place?

This is going to be my favourite quote: …to avoid adverse interaction between the battery and the [system that doesn't exist], the battery has been configured under Transgrid guidance to include an anti-islanding scheme.

So it would seem this is not a technical cluster, but instead a legal minefield. As a consequence of the privatised, corporatised delivery of renewable energy, our entire energy grid consists of numerous interlocking and overlapping contracts. So when Broken Hill or wherever gets islanded, they aren’t waiting for a technical solution - they are waiting for lawyers to draw up an agreement to use what is already there!The government cries poor and instead “facilitates private investment”, but seems happy to spend on lawyers to scour contracts when the power goes off. What a joke. We should nationalise the damn lot of it.
