    Does that mean that WA is "just as prepared" as VIC??

    "Victoria’s ambitious renewable energy plans – to source 40 per cent of its demand from renewables by 2025 – face a potential significant hurdle because of network constraints in the west of the state."

    "The AEMO report notes that western Victoria is a rich resource for wind and solar resources, and for cheap land. The electrical infrastructure, however, is “insufficient to allow unconstrained access to all of the new renewable generation” seeking to connect to it."

    Yes there are opportunities of increased renewable power in WA & VIC but will they be available when the old coal plants shut down? Does "available" include economically viable?

    Any replies with links sans motherhood statements will assist.
