It's relevant in one sense............ the states with the largest % of renewables generally have the lowest wholesale prices.

Dunno what the situation is in SA, but in Vic at least two major distribution monopolies have a foreign entity as a holder of a large amount of shares.

When one has a look at that entity's estimated profit to turnover figures one's eyes water.

And Powercor who do the whole of western Vic, and who were forced by the Vic Gov to compensate all 'meter owners' for a transmission outage that was due their fault. Same outage was blamed on renewable generation in some sections of the media.

Keep digging Eevo............. find the profit / turnover figures for the privately owned HK group. Tissues handy.
