    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.

    Just had a look on the Aneroid Energy web site as of 19:20 AEST - Bomen Solar output nil, Shappire Wind output nil and Shoalhaven Solar output nil .

    Any lights on in Sydney at the moment?

    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.

    Grid can go 75% renewable

    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.

    So they are using 100% renewable,but not only using renewable.

    Sounds like something a politician would say

    Umm,I must be missing something

    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.

    “We don’t pollute in ACT; but next door is shocking” Grid can go 75% renewable

    And if NO production is taking place in the wind farms then they aren’t 100% at all.

    It's great. Hopefully more people and areas buy through renewable energy providers also and support the movement towards renewable energy supplies. I read all of the commentary on what it all actually means and accounting for each electron along the supply chain, but at the end of the day they're supporting the renewable energy industry which is exactly what needs to happen and where the money needs to go.

    Something I'm really proud of doing at my place is being a net exporter of renewable energy. It was a pretty solid business case and it brings in the money.
    Cheers
