‘Read the fine print’: AEMO reveals the cost of renewables push 

what AEMO means is that 122 billion is the cost of administration and bureaucracy of the labor government without actually changing or building anything.

This scandal should be investigated…!

The comments made here really amount to nothing more than good, plain, common-sense. We all knew that renewables would never meet guaranteed 24/7 base-load requirements. The effects upon the land and sea scapes are reason enough to dispel such fantasy...

It is an urgent matter of national security that such low competence leaders are being allowed to dismantle the economy of our once great country. Albo, please call an election soon so that the people of Australia can show how sensible they are....oh wait 🤔

Australians voted for socialism, and that’s what you got

Labor needs the boot hard there going to send us back to the stone age.

And then came the recession

and no account for the Labor parties unicorn farms

Let's get real shall we use our own natural resources Gas Coal Oil. We sell it to overseas investors and interests and Australians suffer. Come on Aussie.

If I buy bread, the bakery is responsible for all its own up-front costs. Why don't renewable energy providers have to do the same?

Venezuela 2.0

Just Shows the value of AEMO.....Zero !

122 Billion would be the Maintenance Alone and thats being conservative. 😆

here's the reality .. To meet 85% target the cost will see the consumer sitting in darkness freezing or a step away from a heat stroke unable to afford to their run air conditioning & heating system's or even turn the lights on & business will move to other countries with a much more affordable energy cost to remain viable ... Putting the none included costing into the Australian labour government plan will ruin Australia entirely sending the Australian way of lifestyle into a lifestyle similar to that of a poverty stricken 3rd world country for many of its citizens.... Labor make me sick they are trying to pull the wool over the Australian populations eye's by not telling us the truth about the all up cost to meet the net zero targets with their renewable energy only plan ... They haven't even done the proper costing is my bet because they are incapable of running a lemonade stand to make a profit let alone be able to work out a properly costed plan for the future of Australia's energy requirements. Its time for the outgoing Governer General to make his mark on his time a the Governer General & prolong his departure by sacking the Australian Labour Government .. Australia just simply can not afford any more of their lies & expensive failed ideas ... Sack this federal government & call an early election Please before irreversible damage is done ..

Its about the transfer of all wealth (ours)

Labor using the nuclear cost as a deflection from their own under handed costings. Nuclear won't be costed by companies effectively till it's made legal to use in Australia. Imagine the cost of replacing all those solar panels in 20 years time then finding a hole to bury them in.

Solar panel dont last forever, did they factor in replacement & ongoing maintenance costs ?

It's just like any other labor projects. They say a figure but they always have a budget blowout in the end.😂

Windmills and solar are just temporary, once all nuclear is operational all windmills and solar panel should and mast be removed. All that area must be re vegetated.

This is unbelievable. The future of our children and country is being stripped by these sociopathic compulsive liars

Here in the US, 50% of electric vehicle owners are looking at going back to gas vehicles. Last year many people in NY died due to electric snow ploughs not being able to run. It's all pie in the sky thinking, not realistic whatsoever. We're destroying our economies trying to fulfill these goals.

just remember, what they say now is not accurate,,, it will be more than quadruple in the end

If they researched the amount of minerals/metals needed for this to happen they would quickly realise it is not achievable, 1 wind turbine requires 1,300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fibreglass, 4 tons of copper and Chinese rare earth metals, 0.4 tons of neodymium and .065 tons of dysprosium.

Aidan is so good to listen to....he really knows all the key details!!

AEMO is a political activist organisation. They do NoT represent the Australian electricity consumer

So the government can spend our money on anything they like without a guaranteed outcome? If Labor does not stop climate change by the end of their term they must pay Australians back.

Rooftop solar where the people pay for servicing and replacement and feed into grid is only 3c a kW but when you take from grid you pay +30c and service fees

And you will eat ze 🪳🦗🐜🐛🪰

Imagine the laughter and sarcasm around the world if China announced that it would aim to drop it's CO2 emissions from 36% to 35% to prevent climate change. It would achieve the same result as Australia's multi trillion dollar 1% drop--SFA.

WHAT??!! That chart will never work! I know I'm 4 days late on this one but damn... Labor are planning to have

...and 26 million mushrooms went -> 😳‼️

LET your GUEST speak. Don't interrupt.

Is anyone laughing 🤷‍♀️ cos this is a joke!

AEMO- needs to be held accountable for their gross misleading and omission of the true costs of this unrealistic plan - the Australian people have the right to “ ALL “ the facts and costs including who will be doing the majority of the work as well as the cost of disposal costs of spent batteries and solar panels ect

Yeah? Government project? $122 billion? I don't think so. Knowing how things work, double it or better still triple it to $366 billion dollars. That's its true cost.

LNP should be calling this!

good luck trying to get this crap of your property when it fails or that company goes bust.. renewables is in the name and you will be !

Neither is pipe dream Bowen's 60 Billion dollars piggybank that wasn't included in the budget😮

Kenny doesn't understand the graph. The Gas shown is gas used in a year for electricity production. However at anytime 30% of the grid could be powered by Gas. That's what Kenny doesn't understand. Its not run all the time but is used as a back up generator. Hence we don't need much gas but we need a lot of Gas Turbines standing idle for when required and on many days that will be zero but there will be other days when they are all running at full output.

There’s gonna be riots

Why is all the being allowed. Outrageous

Doomsday is upon us

I bet the land lost to this fantasy is not allowed for either

...idiocracy...?...uh...yea...?...yep...pure uncut stupidity...

Smoke and mirrors, ALP, Greens BS

WE COULD BUILD 122 COAL POWER PLANTS FOR THAT AND HAVE MORE POWER THAN WE COULD USE. CHEAP POWER MEANS AUST CAN GROW. BETTER . NOT STARVE IN THE COLD AND DARK FOOLS

Obviously nuclear and renewables are cheaper then 100% renewables Definitely switching sides

lies. corruption. criminals.

Distribution system costs aren't affected by generation sources and are more for demand side

So Why is it that only Sky News raises these issues , what about the other News stations, they are quiet

Here is a big surprise with SKY. Wikipedia says the Centre for Independent Studies is aligned with the Liberal Party. So why would Kenny interview them about the cost of renewables without another expert, so bias does not occur. Another huge surprise is that Kenny has worked for four Liberal politicians. Another Kenny family stood for election for the Liberal Party, and lost.

I'd love to see how they arrive at this figure, bet there a lot of estimares (guesses)

You will own NOTHING,

I'm going off grid as I'm sick of this shit. I'll also be living in Asia before any of this crap happens. Got to get out of this dump. I'll cash in first though lol

Maybe an internationally recognised "discrete event modelling" company should be engaged to properly cost out all options, excluding extreme left, ideological coolaid fantasy.

Do they include yearly payments to landowners for wind turbines in their costings???

AEMO all smoke and mirrors

Where's the coalition's large print for it's nuclear plan? No large print, no small print, no details at all. No cost estimates, no community consultation process, no draft legislation.

WUTT ABOAT DAVAYE ALUTTA PROUD HE'S STILL ALUTTA PROUD OF DEE OLE NAULSTEOUS OF DAMNED OLE DAYOOH'S AND EVERYTING LIKE DAULT👋😲

Energy transition for a resource heavy country…….low cost reliable supply always to now extreme cost / iffy reliability and projected to get worse each year. Advance Australia fair 👍🎉

I haven't heard anyone factor in the cost of all the land that is being purchased to house solar farms as well and the loss of income from fertile farmland and the spreading of cost over a 90 year lifetime when comparing with competing nuclear/gas/coal - the only way to make a fair comparison. Battery storage and hydro are in the renewables systems to make them compete with baseload as well, you cant leave them out of costings

Just bear in mind who is doing the proposed market development. AEMO. The "M" stands for "Marketing". They aren't interested in the consumer, they are concentrating on protecting the welfare of the energy providers. They will do nothing that supports the continuing of the reliable legacy coal and gas power industry as they can go rogue with cheap power as most of the power stations are either sitting on many years of coal that in essence costs them nothing beyond the cost of harvesting it and more than one gas station is the same in that they are within kilometres of a gas field and not tied into market forces. Besides, both State and Federal Governments are paying subsidies for all of the wind and solar businesses regardless of actual delivery into the Australian Grid. Goose. Golden Egg. The "Net Zero" emissions scare is 100% political with zero relevance to objective science. A "smoke" screen to hide the real agenda.

There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. - Revelation 22:5 Forget this world; repent and believe the Gospel.

Sky, it's over. You lost. Renewables won already.

Good ole Sky, always desperately willing to push the far right agenda, regardless of how ridiculous it is...

The real cost of so called rebewables is mindblowing,i.Image a number then multiply it by a factor of 10to the 24 .Its trillions and trillions abd will be an on going trillions

WE WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR ANY OF THE GARBAGE RUFUSE TO PAY YOUR POWER BILLS

maybe where the future energy will come from is where the sun DON'T SHINE!!!!!!!!
