Marsh added that according to AEMO, in the 2011-12 financial year almost a quarter of South Australia’s electricity was generated by wind farms. This, he said, had led to a corresponding drop in generation from coal and gas plants, with wind generating more energy than coal for the first time. Marsh said the data showed that emissions from South Australia’s power sector had falle...
