Renewables share of the Australian energy mix is increasing but the costs aren't (yet) flowing through to consumers. Here's an explanation WHY.

Hint: it has nothing to do with the cost of installing renewables.

PJM Interconnection Faces Electricity Shortfall Due to Data Center Demand and Planned Coal Plant Retirements - Cozzy Energy Solutions The power grid operator PJM Interconnection is facing a significant reliability shortfall and escalating costs as it struggles to meet electricity demands from growing data centers. Despite securing over 134,000 megawatts of generating capacity, PJM still fell short of its reliability requirements by more than 6,600 megawatts in a recent auction, with analysts attributing the issue to the accelerated retirement of coal-fired power plants, which could save customers billions of dollars annually if retained.
