Hmm....... the electrical retailers in South Australia risking people thinking they are mean or making a profit for the executive's bonus package .... which way would they choose
The SA Power network makes good money selling renewable power to the adjoining states, but there is only so much they can move over the DC interconnector to NSW and Victoria, they are working on improving that so we stop having excess supply in the grid, as are the big solar farms adding their own battery storage.
At the moment, if the supply doesn't exceed the amount they are selling interstate, then the wholesale price goes up to cover the lost earnings ..... if they have to start any of the back up generator plants or buy power back from either of the states (heaven forbid) the price goes up big time ..... and that would cut into profits ....


....... an absolute last resort, power cuts would be the more likely result of such an event, so using the energy stored in the suckers house batteries would be seen as avoiding power rationing ........ al for the greater good you see
