Sky News host Andrew Bolt says AEMO’s request for emergency power to switch off solar over concerns of system collapses is “evidence” Australia’s energy system is “falling apart”.
“More evidence today our power system is falling apart, this is appalling stuff,” Mr Bolt said.
“Last week it was New South Wales running so short of electricity, people were told don’t turn on your dishwashers, don’t turn on your washing machines, today it is the energy market operator saying, oh dear, we need to be given emergency power so we can switch off solar in every state when necessary.”
