Video of the Week: Australia’s energy mix in moving pictures

Published by

A popular new edition to the RenewEconomy web-site has been the live feed on Australia’s energy mix provided by NEM-Watch, showing the contribution of brown coal, black coal, gas, hydro, wind and biomass to the National Electricity Market.

This video was put together by reader and renewable energy professional Ketan Joshi, showing the live feed over a week, showing the changes in the mix.

The NEM-Watch feed will be upgraded within the next two weeks to include solar, including the large scale solar farms at Royalla and Nyngan – soon to be switched on – and the contribution of the near 4,000MW of rooftop solar. For the first time, readers will be able to see the complete picture of Australia’s energy mix.
