Solar and wind meet record 80% of Australia's power demand

Original: "Solar and wind generation meet record 80% of power demand on Australia’s national grid" # Australia # Energy # Renewabl

Renewable energy sources supplied a record 80% of electricity demand on Australia's national grid, driven by solar and wind generation. The milestone highlights the country's accelerating transition away from fossil fuels and is being discussed as evidence that large-scale renewables can carry the bulk of a developed economy's power needs, even if only for peak moments.

Why now: A record share of renewables on a major national grid is a notable milestone in Australia's energy transition.
