If we can just get our state government to stop cancelling renewable projects like pumped hydro..'Too late' to turn backDespite these costs, many chief executives warned abandoning the energy transition was untenable given the aging and increasingly unreliable nature of coal plants that had long formed the mainstay of the electricity system.
And they argued that renewable energy — backed by batteries, gas plants and pumped hydro — was still the "least-cost" way of replacing that coal.

SupporterHuh?? Pumped hydro is the only one that makes real sense. You know exactly how much power you have in reserve as you know how much water is above the generators! I'm guessing it is so tremendously expensive to upgrade given the future output, they do not wish to proceed.Originally Posted by Captain_Rightfoot

They didn't really say why they were caning it. Just that they would do lots of smaller ones. They will get back to us. Maybe. Maybe not.

Unviable with massive cost blowouts,was the main reason,there were other reasons as well.
It was another of the last Premiers chest beatng exercises stating it would be the biggest pumped hydro scheme in the southern hemisphere.
