Did you ever think there would be a time when wind and solar generation produced more electricity than coal-fired power plants? That’s what happened last year and many experts say this event represents critical breakthroughs for wind and solar technologies, but it shouldn’t be surprising. In 2023 a report from Energy Innovation found that 99% of the U.S. legacy coal-fired plants were more expensive to keep operating than replacing them with new wind or solar generation.

How Australia Is Strengthening Its Power Grid to Support a Renewable Future

1 month ago | tdworld.com | Drew Robb

Australia is a vast landmass. It is about 2500 miles (4023 km) between Perth on the West Coast to Brisbane in the East. Population centers are so far apart that grid infrastructure is largely localized. Even within states like Queensland, the transmission network weakens when moving away from the Brisbane metro area in the south. Towns to the north, like Cairns and Townsville, are around 1000 miles (1609 km) away.
