EV Curve Futurist<p>South Australia's big batteries supplied 33.4% of grid demand at 7am, beating wind (29.9%) and gas (23%). A historic milestone proving batteries aren't just backups—they're leading the charge. As more come online, gas will be pushed aside.

quackademic<p>Guess who benefits most from this initiative &amp; who misses out? Important analysis from Gavin Dufty.</p><p>Households without solar can dramatically reduce their power bills by switching to a wholesale provider &amp; buying at very low or sometimes negative prices when there is a surplus of renewables in the grid. We did this for a year before we installed solar &amp; it reduced our electricity bill by half. I concluded then that solar works at household level only when it’s supported by a battery. </p><p>Rooftop <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> plus community <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/batteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>batteries</span></a> is what we need more of.

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Solar – Want.</p><p>One of Kpop’s best vocalists delivers a stage brimful of performance energy. As well as sounding great, Solar looks on point from bangs to heels. Some have criticized the song itself, which puzzles me, as it seems an excellent vehicle for Solar’s voice. I don’t always love fan chants, but here they add to the excitement of the performance. All in all, a stage that fills me with joy and makes me happy to be a Kpop fan!</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/f2f3e-i0FlQ?si=P4ggzh6dBr77-heP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/f2f3e-i0FlQ?si=P4ggzh</span><span class="invisible">6dBr77-heP</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Kpop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kpop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KpopOfTheWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KpopOfTheWeek</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solar</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Want" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Want</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@kpop" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>kpop@fedigroups.social</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/kpop" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>kpop@a.gup.pe</span></a></span></p>
