Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. But the plan suggests a significant amount of gas will remain in the grid.
