So apparently Sydney council says as of today it will source 100% renewable energy from three different generators - the Bomen Solar Farm in Wagga Wagga, Sapphire Wind Farm near Inverell and the Shoalhaven solar farm in Nowra.Quote:

Any lights on in Sydney at the moment? [bigrolf]
Its 100% renewable when the total amount a customer is buying from renewable sources equals the total consumption. It doesn't mean they only use renewable. And remember this is only Sydney City, not the whole of metropolitan Sydney.
This is no longer unusual. The ACT is 100% renewable. Tasmania is over 90% hydro and renewable. Many businesses and other bodies are already doing this. By signing contracts they make the generators viable with firm customers and boost the total generation capacity of the network.
Its how a national grid works. Its the way of the future.
Political spin at its finest.
It’s not 100% renewable at all. It’s totally misleading.
Click bait for environmental wannabes.
And it’s NOT how the national grid works.
This is the only accurate thing, I have EVER seen you post, hahaQuote:

Sounds like something a politician would say[thumbsupbig]
Umm,I must be missing something [bighmmm]
I'm sure you geniuses understand that once electricity is sent into the grid its not possible to say this bit is renewable, but that bit is coal - its all just electricity.
Going 100% renewable just means they buy an amount equivalent to 100% of their needs from a renewable supplier, who sells it into the grid at the best spot price available.
That is how it works, actually. And its the future happening now.
It then shifts all the other regions away from renewables.
So it’s a feel good exercise at best.

And if NO production is taking place in the wind farms then they aren’t 100% at all.
Ok,so i buy 100% renewable,but there isn't enough renewable to go around?Quote:
