There was a proposal for a 50 mw solar farm at Wudinna a couple of years ago.....I haven't heard anything about it for quite a while.

I'm surprised there isn't a proposal in the pipeline for a solar power station near Wudinna, as far west (later sunset) as it is possible to connect to the grid, and scaled to the capacity of the grid flowing east.

Dedicated right-of-way rail (whether it be light or heavy rail) with an unimpeded pathway (ie a clear track) will always be a winner over buses. Any form of transport that has to "share a space with cars" is behind the eight ball from the start... BRT has its uses....obviously cheaper than rail but ...

At present, most storage is proposed as an adjunct to individual renewable generators to allow them to bid deeper into the market b...

At night time...there is not enough storage......hello SA government!!!!...
