Renewables setting NEM wholesale prices more often Mixed market in Q1 highlights energy diversity

Large scale solar and wind generation set the price more often across all NEM regions in the first quarter of 2025 (compared with Q1 2024), according to the Australian Energy Regulator. theenergy.co/article/rene...

Headline from RenewEconomy: “You can’t charge your battery and your car at same time:” Dutton does not have a clue about energy

Screenshot of the Tesla app, showing 14kW of solar being generated, 1.4kW going into not a battery, and 12.6kW of household load (which includes 7kW of EV charging)

Dutton, Friday: “You can’t add the [solar] energy at the same time to your car, into your battery at home.”

Me, yesterday: Adding solar energy into my home battery and car at the same time.

Is he clueless or deceitful?
Either way, Liberals can’t be trusted on energy.

☢️ Just gotta say: How funny is it that the nukebros have been harping on for months about how you “need” nuclear for a strong manufacturing industry, and now Liberal reveal their nuclear plan hinges on having LESS manufacturing and a SLOWER growing economy than Labor’s plans. 😂

TIL re. Q3 in #AusEnergy:
- In September, a new NEM record of 72% renewables generation for 30 mins was set.
- Enough renewables were available for 100%! But some of it was outbid.
- WA would have set a new low demand record EXCEPT their new battery soaked it up! 🥳
