The LNP are saying in Parliament that "renewables are too expensive". Of course, everybody knows they are a wholly-owned subsidiary of oil and coal companies. But what are the facts. So far this year, per MWh, Ozzie $:
Solar $45 - $58
Wind $65
Coal (brown) $78
Coal (black) $126
Batteries $238
Gas $162 - $367
Note that batteries and gas both sell into peak demand periods when the wholesale electricity price is high. Batteries provided 0.2% of demand.
Well, LNP? Now what's your story?
