South Australia's Renewable Milestone

South Australia has made significant strides in transitioning to renewable energy, achieving an impressive milestone where it ranks among only two regions globally in phase five of the International Energy Agency's integration of wind and solar. This phase indicates that the state can produce 100% of its energy from renewable resources at certain times, although not consistently. With solar energy accounting for around 75% of the state’s demand, this achievement highlights the effective harnessing of local renewable resources in the absence of coal energy sources. South Australia’s unique geographical and historical context has facilitated its rapid progress in renewables, setting a benchmark for others within the National Electricity Market.
