Well done Surf Coast Shire. We need our Governments to hear many voices to get a better RET. Meanwhile, another idea –
Pumped Hydro (river not included)
Webinar – Prof Andrew Blakers
Tuesday 13 October, 8 pm (eastern summer time)
As wind and solar come to dominate our electricity supply, we need to add storage to provide power on demand day and night. Pumping water uphill could be the answer – not new dams but off-river sites where water can be circulated in a closed loop between an upper and lower reservoir. It’s way cheaper than batteries and Australia has literally thousands of excellent sites in hilly areas outside conservation reserves.
Andrew Blakers from the ANU’s Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems surveys the potential for off-river pumped hydro and how it can help us get to 100% renewable electricity within a couple of decades. It’s a good news story! All welcome.
