How Do We Help The Grid Survive El Niño In Australia?
Australians watching the news about Canada’s current spate of wildfires will remember our own horrifying bushfires a couple of years ago.
At the start of the Ukraine war, Europeans expected an energy crisis. Although prices rose, there were minimal blackouts. Australians may have to use some of the strategies employed in Europe to nurse the grid through the worst of the summer — behaviors will need to change. Office buildings, especially in the CBD, may need to turn off some of their lights at night time.
Although El Nińo means more sunshine to feed Australia’s many solar farms, it also means less rainfall for hydropower-dependent grids like Tasmania and New South Wales. Energy consumption in southern states peaks in winter for heating and in northern states it peaks in summer as the air conditioners are turned on. At this point in time,— 50% solar, 30% wind, and 20% hydro. These figures were unthinkable ten years ago.
