Seems unlikely given there's brand new gas peaking plants in the pipeline. Then whenever the Tasmanian dams run dry again and hydro stops generating they'll simply fly in diesel generators and reverse several years of green hydro, again.

100% clean*

* includes gas peakers and diesel generators

How is the steel for the wind turbines made? They are end of life after 5 years I thought.
“100 Percent Clean Energy” and “running its power grid entirely on renewable energy” are not the same — the article says nothing about fuel for transport, which is about 40% of all energy use in Aus, and mostly sourced from oil.
