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

SupporterIt seems due to the complexity of the modern energy market providers are able to manipulate the price in their favour....WA economic regulator accuses power generators of overcharging utilities for wholesale electricity - ABC News
It says in the latest alleged breach, WA's largest privately-owned generator Bluewaters Power hiked the wholesale price of electricity by about $30 million over eight months.
IIRC from the news broadcast a total of 100M is alleged from various suppliers in WA.
