CORRECTION – Tamar Valley is not mothballed, just bid unavailable
A correction about Tamar Valley’s drop in production – and some further thoughts.
The NEM might support 37% energy supplied from wind – but it would still require at least 21GW of non-wind capacity on standby
A hypothetical case of what production patterns from wind might look like through a year with increased installed capacity of wind farms.
Aggregate wind farm output growing, but intermittency still remains
A more detailed look at how the percentage of energy supplied in the NEM from wind has risen to be 3.5% on an annual basis – though the degree of indeterminacy continues to be significant despite the growing diversification of wind farm sites.
Performance of wind farms, to date in 2013
Here’s a view of how daily wind farm production (by region, and NEM-wide) has trended over the 2013 calendar year to date – the correlation of output on a daily basis, and the contribution towards regional and NEM-wide demand
