The share of renewables in Australia’s main electricity grid continues to reach new highs, delivering 77.9% of electricity demand on Sunday with solar power contributing more than 55% of the record-breaking clean energy mix.
GPE NEMLog data shows the rolling seven-day mean crossed 20% on April 15, 2018, 30% on Nov. 13, 2019, and 40% on Sept. 19, 2022. While the mark has now passed the 50% milestone, it remains well short of the Australian government’s target of 82% renewable electricity generation in the NEM by 2030.
