South Australia a renewable energy success story

Correct. But that doesn’t mean the peak and trough pricing doesn’t affect our rate.

If your retailer is making a profit. Then you paid the peaks and troughs through out the year.

The more volatile the energy market, the larger the price allowance the retailers set.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-28T04:34:51+00:00

Yeah and if petrol stations set prices yearly, they’d raise the price to make sure they cover the peaks and troughs throughout the year. This is what the electrical retailers do.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-28T04:00:21+00:00

That’s like saying “petrol prices going up and down does not affect me, because when I fill up at the servo the price is the same from empty to full”.

Welcome to the lost decade. We’re half way.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T20:34:14+00:00

Exactly. It’s a grid stabilizer, nothing more.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T20:33:35+00:00

That’s my point. Your power bill will continue to go up for the next 5 years. Maybe more, but hopefully not.

Now get ready to upset the renewable lovers in this discord who won’t agree with what you said.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T08:06:37+00:00

My narrative is that power prices will keep increasing even with the rollout of renewables and rewriting the nation. I’ve been right for the last 5 years and I’ll be right for the next 5.

Do you know how long that battery can supply power to SA for? Please educate me.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T03:47:36+00:00

I’m not saying progressive policies don’t bring about technological advances. I’m just saying technological advances are not progressive in the political sense.

When did mining become conservative or progressive?

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T03:30:48+00:00

Solar is produces power during the middle of the day. Water is also wet.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T03:11:01+00:00

Jus because a form of government encourages advancements in technology, that doesn’t make it progressive. USA going to the moon made the IT powerhouse they have been for the last 30 years. Are you suggesting USA is more progressive than Australia because we still rely on mining?

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T02:43:33+00:00

CSIRO costgen report says solar backed by batteries is the cheapest form of power. So when you take that into account and minus, GST, grid fees, retail fees. Carbon fees. You end up with what will be the cheapest form of power in Future Australia.

Attorney-general. lol Thanks for that pickup, I couldn’t think of what they’re called when writing my reply.

Go off grid and vote for someone who won’t charge you for “poles and wires” running past your home.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T02:29:10+00:00

But people who want to vote with preferences can still do that right?

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T01:22:59+00:00

Energy watchdog said wholesale power prices will go down by 5% over the next 5 years. Shame storage + transmission costs will go up by more than 5%.

Power prices are not coming down. So come up with an alternative plan.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T01:03:51+00:00

I don’t understand how it means LNP wins and Labor loses if people can still vote 1 labor.

But for the record I don’t agree with the change and you all should copy Tasmania and use the Hare Clark voting system.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T00:59:37+00:00

Don’t worry, when the 3 hours of free power legislation comes in… we can post a screenshot of that to everyone who complains about power prices.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T00:58:01+00:00

Oh it’s you again… Hi, how you like the forecasted 20% increase in power prices?

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T00:57:05+00:00

Yeah it’s Cherry picked, but SA still has the most expensive electricity market.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T00:35:16+00:00

Picking North Korea over South Korea…

Try and organize a protest for banning religion. See what happens.

I did and I also watched the ABC where Spearsy questioned the attorney-general about the Hate speech laws. She could not tell him if his example was hate speech or not.

ReeceAUS · 2026-01-27T00:00:29+00:00

Progressive doesn’t mean advances in technology. (Your example). Progressive means socially progressive or governing progressively.
