The fourth week of Could has seen Australia gripped by its second “wind drought” in as many months, inflicting wind power era to plummet to record lows.

Australian autumn – which is throughout March, April and Could – is historically seen because the season with the bottom wind outputs. Nonetheless, the lull in energy era this yr has pushed the mixed output of all renewables in Australia under final yr’s degree. (Associated: Faking GREEN: Scotland’s wind turbines are secretly using generators that run on FOSSIL FUELS.)

Wind power accounts for nearly 36 percent of total renewable energy generated in Australia and practically 10 % of whole electrical energy generated within the nation.

However this yr, the share of variable renewable power – wind and photo voltaic power – has fallen under final yr’s ranges. OpenNEM, a platform offering up-to-date information on the electricity market in Australia, notes that over seven days in late Could, the share of Australian power generated from wind got here in at simply 5 %, in comparison with greater than 13 % for a similar interval final yr.

Even within the state of South Australia, which is the nation’s and the world’s chief in wind power era with a median share of 75 % wind and photo voltaic previously yr, the share of wind power generated fell from its annual common of 43 % to lower than 10 % in the identical seven-day interval.

In Victoria, the share of wind power generated fell from a yearly common of twenty-two.5 % to simply three % in three days in late Could. In New South Wales, the year-long common of seven.5 % fell to simply 1.8 % throughout the identical interval in Could.

Australia renewables sector experiencing slowdown since 2023

Australia’s Clear Vitality Council has warned that the nation’s whole renewables sector is experiencing an “alarming” slowdown in progress as investments in the renewable industry drastically drop.

This comes amid reviews revealing that fossil gas energy stations in Australia expanded their era capabilities within the first two months of 2024.

The nation’s renewables sector noticed “notably poor” funding into large-scale renewable vegetation, whereas smaller investments into rooftop photo voltaic and renewable battery storage had been “storming forward.”

On the finish of 2023, the council reported Australia had 56 renewable power tasks beneath development, down from 72 on the finish of 2022. These had a mixed capability of seven.5 gigawatts, greater than a fifth decrease than the 9.5 gigawatts beneath development on the finish of 2022.

The renewables sector final yr was solely capable of safe round $1.5 billion price of recent investments, lower than 1 / 4 of the $6.5 billion secured for 2022.

Grid or large-scale photo voltaic era in Australia rose 18 % larger in January and February in comparison with the identical two months in 2023. Rooftop photo voltaic elevated by 10 %. Wind era solely elevated by 5 %. In the meantime, coal-fired energy era and pure gas-fired era rose by 4 % and 14 %, respectively.
