Western Australia’s main grid distributes as much electricity as the South Australian and Tasmanian grids combined. It currently uses 75 per cent fossil fuel energy and contributes 10 million tonnes per year to Australian’s Co2 emissions.
This is the third of my series of articles on WA’s Whole of System Plan (WoSP) for electricity to 2040. You can find the others here and here. In this article, we will compare fossil fuel use and emissions under two WoSP scenarios compared to a cost- optimised transition to 85% renewable energy (RE) by 2030 and 100% RE by 2040.
The WoSP as it now stands can be summarized as ‘keep the incumbent fossil fuelled steam thermal generators going until 2040 and we have no plans to phase them out after that’.
