Graph of the Day: Map of NSW generation – wind, solar, hydro, coal and gas

Published by

here at RenewEconomy we are often asked for more information about the location of wind and solar projects, and battery storage.

Short of developing our own data-base (which we wish we had the resources for), we’ve decided to reproduce a series of graphs from the Australia Energy Regulator’s latest “state of the market” report.

This first one shows the existing generators – coal (black), gas (grey), Hydro (blue), biomass (pink), solar (yellow) and wind (green). Battery storage doesn’t feature because there is no grid-scale batteries in NSW, yet.

We’ll keep a look out for maps of projects in the pipeline, or awaiting connection, but that tends to be a moving feast, and many developers like to keep their crds close to their chest. And in coming days, we’ll publish the generation maps for other states too.

Update: We have also published the maps for Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.
