7 March 2021 As Australia’s large scale solar and wind installations continue to expand, it’s only natural to expect that the records for maximum output – and percentage share – will continue to be broken. A new record was set on Friday afternoon, this time for maximum large scale solar output (just from solar farms and not including rooftop solar) which reached 3,474.8 MW for the National Electricity Market, which covers most of Australia apart from Western Australia, the Northern Territory and other locations not connected to the main grid. The new milestone was identified by some sharp eyed energy wonks on the NEM-Watch Facebook page, who noted that it beat the previously record of 3331.7MW set on Monday, February 22.
