Crossy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Australian Energy Market Operator chief Daniel Westerman says emergency rooftop solar switch-off mechanisms must be set up across the national electricity market, to better control “more than seven Eraring power stations” worth of consumer installed PV. https://reneweconomy.com.au/solar-switch-off-a-must-for-all-states-says-aemo-to-control-seven-erarings-of-rooftop-pv/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Although I understand the need to balance the grid, the wingnut conspiracy theorist in me (along with recent events) has me questioning whether they'll be turning off your air conditioner if you do anything the gub'ment doesn't like.

Bandersnatch Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 An intelligent approach to this problem would be dynamic pricing that reflect electricity wholesale prices. So at times of excess supply, electricity prices go negative and EVs start charging for free, but any exports incur negative payments. Such a system would make home batteries much more financially attractive. To a certain extent this is already happening with electricity tariffs like Octopus Flux in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US trying to understand UK talking Oz and it flew over this cuckoo's nest without leaving a clue.

It's referring to the capacity of this (actually 7 of them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraring_Power_Station 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So talking capacity of 7 power stations estimated being generated by rooftop solar panels which need normal Oz regulations? Got a clue now. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
