Australia's Energy Transition

Australia would appear on a downward spiral in terms of both energy generation capacity and reliability.

According the the CSIRO's GenCost report, renewables provide on average 30% of stated maximum capacity; coal and gas provide on average 60% of stated maximum capacity.

Statements of maximum MW capacity are perhaps misleading? Statement of MWh, over a year, are perhaps more relevant.

The above graph displays MWh for all Operating, Decommissioned, Planned and Abandoned generation capacity, for Coal, Wind, Solar, Hydro and Gas generators.

The net net is, we appear to be progressing to an energy inadequacy.
