You dont "believe" it? Umm. ok... Well all I can say is that AEMO does sorta know what its talking about - this isn't some lefty think tank!I've read it and I simply don't believe it. The original Basslink has been an operational and financial basket case. I'm not confident that Basslink 2.0 will work out any better.
There won't be enough storage and synchronisation capacity to deal with more than one interconnect going down. If that's the case SA falling over could lead to a domino effect across the NEM. To avoid this we will end up with a bunch of small OCGT and peaking diesel plants being built at the last minute. This will be less efficient than a single larger CCGT or I don't know a Korean APR1400.
If we get lower runoff in the Snowys and Tasmania as predicted by the IPCC and CSIRO then, their storage capacity will be severely limited.
