The South Australian grid is a great example of how well this approach works. It's mostly (>60%) a mix of solar and wind power, with some gas that fills in the gaps - as well as batteries for grid stability. Still importing some coal power from interstate, but that is decreasing too. The investment has been incremental - so much smaller amounts, with much less risk and therefor more attractive to investors. A large part of this (since 2018) has been done by a conservative state government, who have been highly supportive of the renewable transition. https://theconversation.com/against-the-odds-south-australia-is-a-renewable-energy-powerhouse-how-on-earth-did-they-do-it-153789 https://theconversation.com/against-the-odds-south-australia...
