In the past 12 months, South Australia has enjoyed a world-leading 60 per cent grid share of wind and solar.

Data from analysts at OpenNEM shows that wind and solar met 60.2 per cent of South Australia’s demand for the 12 months to February 7, with wind energy accounting for 42.2 per cent, rooftop solar providing 13.7 per cent and utility scale solar, 4.3 per cent.

The new record comes just weeks after South Australia was able to run on 100 per cent renewable energy while boasting the cheapest wholesale electricity prices in the country.

With a proposed new link to NSW scheduled to be complete by 2025, South Australia is expected to continue producing world-beating levels of green power.
