    So I looked in the document and it agrees with my point. The most recent stats for South Australia are 8977 GWh of renewable energy and 5717 GWh non-renewable gas energy. You’ll note the gas use is dropping pretty rapidly as they put more renewables on.

      Ok, so from your point of view 40% fossil fuels is still doing fine? I interpreted your original comment to mean they were doing 100% or close to it in renewables. Then I misunderstood.

        It’s just a temporary measure while we transition to 100% renewables. You can see from the numbers that it’s dropping year by year as new renewables are brought on.
