Poster here. Two quotes from the article:
> By 2021, more than two-thirds of SA’s electricity came from variable renewable generation, more than in any developed economy we know of.
> This has had a big impact on prices. From having long had the highest wholesale prices in the National Electricity Market, by 2021 SA had almost the lowest.
Background: SA, aka the state of South Australia, has no coal deposits unlike the rest of the country. Australia is a big place, so getting transmission lines to there is expensive.
