Outing Nature’s ‘Outages’: Chaotic Wind Power Output Drives Rocketing Australian Power Prices
Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg has just bagged the Pinocchio Award for his continued line about falling power prices. Instead of retail relief, power consumers have been whacked by jumps of between 20 and 28% this year, on top of 20% increases, last year.
