Hi Peter.

 

You think we should be a dam nation?

 

Why not? Tasmania is exactly that - 95% hydro and the rest is solar, wind, gas. 66 dollars per MW/h. Not bad.

 

Victoria is 70% brown coal - 108 dollars per MW/h, then 15% hydro and gas - 140 dollars. Something funny there.

 

 

Yes, you need more energy to pump up the water than what you get from releasing it downward. No argument there.

 

Solar can pump the water up - but only during the day - so running the solar to the grid would be a secondary function.

 

I'm not across all the profiles or protocols they use but the priority for me is increasing the overall amount of available secure power.
