The level of “potential renewables” – the combination of wind, solar and hydro energy actually produced, and curtailed – hit a record high of 102.1 per cent of electricity demand on Tuesday in yet another sign of the dramatic changes on Australia’s main grid.

The new record was reached at 12.25pm on Wednesday, according to GPE NEMLog, and beat the previous peak of 101.5 per cent that was set nearly a year ago, in October and in spring ,when these
