    A little belatedly, here are the stats for December.

    We hit 30% renewable generation nationally! And wind was 40% of that. SA an impressive 73% (noting no hydro in SA).

    Renewable energy generation for December - average for the month:
    • National - 30.0%
    • TAS - 99.8%
    • SA - 73.2%
    • WA - 36.5%
    • VIC - 28.9%
    • NSW - 26.1%
    • QLD - 15.1%
    Peak renewable generation for December - and time of occurrence:
    • National - 51.3% on 06 Dec 11:45
    • TAS - 100.0% on many occasions
    • SA - 89.1% on 17 Dec 14:30

    Small Scale / Rooftop solar as a proportion of all generation for December - invisible to AEMO:
    • National - 8.6%
    • SA - 19.7%
    • WA - 15.6%
    • VIC - 8.1%
    • QLD - 6.9%
    • NSW - 6.6%
    • TAS - 3.5%
    Renewable mix for December - solar includes small-scale solar, hydro includes pumped hydro:
    • National - Wind: 40.0%, Solar: 43.6%, Hydro: 16.4%
    • NSW - Wind: 31.1%, Solar: 47.2%, Hydro: 21.7%

    The stats for January. Is there still interest, or are people happy to just look at opennem.org.au and see this stuff in real-time (although not quite as neatly summarised and ranked).

    A new record for national peak renewable generation of 54.3%.

    I'm interested.
    I don't go to OpenNEM in my normal travels, so it's good to have them listed here once a month.
    Of course, if it's a lot of work for you, feel free to stop.

    Interesting... down 0.1% from December for the national average. This is the first time it has gone lower than the previous month since July '20. Does this mean summer is already over. <grin>

    The peak of summer has passed... but Tassie ran on renewables for the entire month of February. I’d have to check the stats in detail to see if it was between 99.95% and 99.99% and it just got rounded up to 100.

    Renewable energy generation for February - average for the month:
    • National - 29.4%
    • TAS - 100.0%
    • SA - 72.6%
    • WA - 36.3%
    • VIC - 28.1%
    • NSW - 24.4%
    • QLD - 16.1%
    Peak renewable generation for February - and time of occurrence:
    • National - 48.9% on 22 Feb 12:15
    • TAS - 100.0%
    • SA - 90.4% on 19 Feb 09:45
    • WA - 69.6% on 18 Feb 17:15
    • NSW - 49.4% on 15 Feb 10:45
    • VIC - 49.3% on 22 Feb 12:15
    • QLD - 42.2% on 21 Feb 11:00
    Small Scale / Rooftop solar as a proportion of all generation for February - invisible to AEMO:
    • National - 8.2%
    • SA - 19.7%
    • WA - 13.8%
    • QLD - 7.4%
    • NSW - 6.8%
    • VIC - 6.8%
    • TAS - 3.7%
    Renewable mix for February - solar includes small-scale solar, hydro includes pumped hydro:
    • National - Wind: 37.5%, Solar: 43.2%, Hydro: 19.3%
    • NSW - Wind: 31.3%, Solar: 51.4%, Hydro: 17.3%
    • QLD - Wind: 11.8%, Solar: 78.0%, Hydro: 10.2%
