85% renewable electricity system cheaper than renewing the current coal and gas : Comments

By Ben Rose, published 30/6/2016

The modelling I present here focuses on electricity generation. It disproves two myths –that renewable electricity is not workable without baseload fossil fuelled power and that in any case it is too expensive.

Ben,

Once again I was talking about power sold by the generators to the network. Not the wholesale or retail prices. The LCOE prices for generation are just that, for the prices at the terminals of the power plant. Presently average prices are about $40/MWhr, and after spending $28bn will be about $130/MWhr

Secondly, going through the "modelling" I found very little to no actual data, which leads me to believe that this is no more than back of the ciggie box calculations.
