Traditionally, January and February are often Victoria’s hottest months.  And living up to expectations, the state’s energy alert can’t be ignored. Victoria is having a power crunch as can be seen by the news headlines.

What are the key points?
  • Summer heatwaves and winter months are most at risk for blackouts
  • Power costs are expected to rise significantly
  • Importing electricity from other states might become necessary
The Bottom Line
Victoria is racing to shift to green energy, but this transition comes with potential short-term pain. While moving away from coal is crucial, the state must carefully manage its power infrastructure to prevent widespread blackouts and skyrocketing electricity prices.
Quick Takeaway

Brace for higher energy bills and possible occasional power interruptions as Victoria rewrites its energy future. Consider solar power and installing a battery to help you become more energy independent!

The widespread installation of rooftop solar PV systems can play a crucial role in decreasing overall electricity demand, especially during peak periods in summer heatwaves. And fortunately, the future adoption of batteries to store the excess power generated by rooftop solar is expected to counterbalance this shift, making the overall impact more favorable. If you have installed solar panels on your rooftop, bravo. You’re ready for the next secret weapon: a solar battery! 🌞
