The memes of the climate @lemmy.world Grail (capitalised) @aussie.zone Some states are doing better than others at energy
The top graph is South Australia’s energy grid. The bottom is Queensland’s. Yellow is solar, green is wind, orange is gas, purple is imports, and black is coal.
Over the last week, Queensland used 27.3% renewable power, and South Australia used 81.4%. Source: https://explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/au/
Yesterday the price of electricity in Finland was negative 1.5 cents / kWh

It's still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it's pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.
Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.
