"Two of the world’s leading renewable energy states – both with grids that
regularly achieve periods of 100 per cent solar and wind supply – have agreed
to collaborate on some of the final pieces of the energy transition puzzle,
including hydrogen, long duration storage and smart grid management.
South Australia and California signed a letter of cooperation on Thursday,
Australian time, to advance their “shared leadership” in renewable energy and
clean hydrogen technology.
The agreement takes in the development of “world-leading projects” for the
production, use and export of green hydrogen, including cooperation between
Hydrogen Power SA and the California Natural Resources Agency and California
Energy Commission.
The two states will also work together on strategies to advance
electrification, grid flexibility, demand response, and vehicle-to-grid
technologies, all of which are considered crucial to make the best use of
distributed energy resources including rooftop solar and batteries in homes and
electric vehicles.
California, like South Australia, is an exemplar of the astonishing pace of the
green energy transition – in March the state’s energy supply peaked at 100 per
cent renewables on 17 out of 18 days in a row, thanks largely to rooftop solar.
But, like South Australia, California is pushing up against the challenge of
how to deliver the rest of the capacity needed to get to 100 per cent
renewables for longer than just one or two hours a day."
