South Australia has a huge amount of solar and wind, but relativity little storage, and basically no renewable base load (hydro, geothermal, nuclear). While the average renewable energy usage is fairly high, the instantaneous renewable usage can drop to almost 0 some days.

Solutions are being implemented, and the renewable mix is gradually improving.
