South Australian businesses are benefiting from a rapid decline in electricity rates, off the back of the cheapest wholesale electricity prices seen in 24-months.
The drop in electricity prices is a direct outcome of record renewable generation in South Australia throughout Q4 2023, particularly from wind and gas-fired power stations which make up a significant portion of the South Australian energy mix.
However, since the onset of the cooler months, South Australia's renewable sources have produced less and less, and this drop in generation has meant more supply required from the grid, triggering an increase in the market, which means rates have also started to increase.
