What is the cheapest source of new electricity supply?

In the GenCost 2021-22 report, @CSIRO confirms renewables continue to be the cheapest new-build electricity generation in 🇦🇺 even with integration costs (storage, transmission, synchronous condenser) at very high VRE levels

Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power

Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released

Here's the story of how that all came to an end:

AEMO's published the 2024 Integrated System Plan, a roadmap for the #energytransition. It includes an optimal pathway of generation, storage & transmission investments needed to meet consumers' energy needs as we transition to a #netzeroeconomy by 2050. https://t.co/x8kKFBXXc5

Six Paddington residents have asked the Australian Human Rights Commission to intervene to stop the construction of a bike lane on Sydney’s Oxford Street, claiming it will be discriminatory against the elderly and the disabled. https://t.co/FYs5ktgwot

GenCost report is out… nuclear bros coming out of the woodwork be like

[CSIRO @CSIRO]

With @AEMO_Energy, we've released the annual GenCost 2023-24 report.

The latest report includes a range of changes to the draft in response to feedback. Most notably, the inclusion of large-scale nuclear for the first time.

Here's what we found. 👇 https://t.co/yjghvHua66

Hydrogen: the Obituary.

We (the electron guys) feel somehow vindicated. Eternal thanks to @h2coalition and @MLiebreich for spearheading the effort to bring arithmetics into the debate

The great #HydrogenSoufflé collapse gathers pace. Wait till Hydrogen Council and McKinsey find out that transporting hydrogen is really expensive too. And storing it. And compressing it. And distributing it. And using it. And that transporting it as ammonia is really inefficient.

Science provides the data and models that allow society to tackle profound challenges. To be useful, science requires community trust.

It takes a lot of energy to build an electric vehicle – so are EVs actually cleaner than their gas-guzzling counterparts?

According to a new report by @BloombergNEF, the answer is a resounding yes.
