I recently saw this news article concerning Australia's renewable sector and its recent growth. In October, 21.7% of electricity came from renewable energy sources in the country. This is in comparison to the 2016 average for Australia, which sits at 14.7% renewable electricity. This is a positive sign and it shows that change is occurring (perhaps they saw my blog post!).
The effects of this movement to renewable sources are unlikely to be felt by the public, where electricity production prices have remained stable in the transition from coal to renewables. This means any price increases have not resulted from the increased use of renewable energy.
In a week of renewable instability from the US election, this is a welcome sign of changes that are occurring for the better. With much of the world ratifying its agreement to the COP21 climate agreements, this is a crucial time for the future of renewable energy
