JoNova(Australia)
once again, bad luck for renewables. The AEMO put out their report for
the first quarter of 2019. Despite a massive growth in renewables,
power prices are still not falling as predicted.
The report highlights that record high spot wholesale electricity
prices were set in Victoria and South Australia, and nearly in
everywhere else as well:
• Victoria and South Australia’s
quarterly average spot wholesale electricity prices of $166/MWh and
$163/MWh were their highest on record.
• Victoria and New South Wales recorded
their highest underlying energy price on record, while Queensland, South
Australia and Tasmania recorded their seconded highest energy prices on
record.
These record highs were not just billion dollar price spikes, but the actual underlying energy prices as well.
