With businesses and manufacturing — the very operations that use the most
power and are best equipped to
pay for it — relying on private
generators, EDH
winds up asking homeowners to carry the bag, energy officials say.
The cost of backfilling hundreds of «missing»
wind megawatts, by importing coal - fired power from Victoria, running gas - fired OCGTs, reciprocating diesel engined generators and Jay Weatherill's 276 MW diesel - fuelled Open Cycle Turbines (that chew up 80,000 litres of diesel every hour) is staggering: Wind «Powered» South Australia Pays $ 14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal - Fired Plants Can Deliver for

The current structure of the PTC subsidizes
wind resources in the energy market to the point where
wind generators will
pay others to take
power that is otherwise unneeded in order to maximize their benefit from the PTC.
