All-electric utes on the radar for tradies
sdouglas:
None of the political parties are serious about renewables. The big solar and wind farm near Hughenden western Qld has been finished in the construction phase and ready to go for a year and a half but they won’t let them put more than about 15% of generated capacity into the grid because the Qld government hasn’t upgraded the grid hardware in the area. Other big projects have fallen over due to the same issue.
It’s all talk, smoke and mirrors.

And yet, the Queensland Government has opened the registrations of interest period for its three planned Renewable Energy Zones.

I am not familiar with this particular situation but I would imagine that Hughenden was getting toward the end of the supple line from the main grid closer to the coast so now they are going to feed the supply in the opposite direction resulting in the need to beef up the line back the other way so not that simple as just plugging it in.
sdouglas:
Sure, but these projects have been years in the planning, then construction. Not just done overnight. They are all happy to talk about the benefits but don’t actually do much to upgrade the infrastructure that we have been paying for anyway.
Hughenden is in the middle between massive mining ventures that are very power hungry. Like I said, they are all talk.
ajm:
Years in the planning....rubbish. isn't there an election soon? Anastasia organised this herself just this week. after dealing with the bully PM, she was just all go go go.
