@greenpeace Pity the sun doesn’t shine at night and battery complexes aren’t yet build over there. We’re not yet at the right stage for this comment.

@TomDB @greenpeace and who's fault it is the battery storage systems are not more widely used?

This is exactly the time for this comment. We need to stop burning fossil fuels as a society.

Batteries supplying up to 9% of demand at night.

We have seen batteries charge with cheap solar, discharge all night, dump remaining energy before 6am and start the solar charging cycle again.

We have had 252,000 household battery systems have been installed with a total storage capacity of 6,280 megawatt-hours, in just 6 months.

Meanwhile there is a ever expanding amount of grid batteries being built or in development. Getting bigger and longer duration.

There is also pumped hydro storage, hydro. Wind etc.

Maybe your government just isn't trying.

Wind and solar have eaten most of the coal industry's lunch, and batteries are hoeing into its dinner

The latest power quarterly survey from BloombergNEF highlights the rapidly changing shape and nature of Australia's main grid – and the new normal for coal and gas.
