Talk:Energy in South Australia

Electricity prices
I removed reference to a Productivity Commission report (http://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/109921/13-carbon-prices-appendixd.pdf) and text concluding on the basis of this that SA has third highest electricity prices relative to other states. While the report provides data on wholesale prices, there is no text that I could find that makes a conclusion about what SA prices are relative to other states. A bit of Googling quickly leads to the conclusion that, as far as SA consumers are concerned, SA has the highest retail prices in the country. I suggest that text about SA electricity prices should be clear about whether they are wholesale or retail prices, and that sources be used which articulate conclusions about prices in the text rather than just present data.

Suggestions
This article only talks about renewable energy. Either it should be renamed 'renewable energy in South Australia', or it should provide more discussion on conventional energy sources such as coal, oil and gas etc., which still supply the vast majority of the state's demand. I suggest at least something along the lines of the following: the history of energy use and consumption, a summary of the known resources, distribution and retail, export, consumption (both domestic and significant industrial users), policy and regulation, current and future directions.

 * Energy in Queensland may also provide some ideas. It definitely needs to be more comprehensive. - Shiftchange (talk) 15:50, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

A Mess
This article was a mess. I'm about halfway through turning it into something salvagable. Editors should understand the difference between writing a PR brochure for private industry or public bureaucracy and writing an encyclopedia article. Redundant, irrelevant, and inappropriate material will be trimmed without mercy. The article is still too long given the topic, and lacks both focus and precision -- but its much better than it was. --BenJonson (talk) 23:37, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Edits completed.--BenJonson (talk) 14:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Not sure how much got done (see above) but I've taken the liberty of excising two statements, the first of which used a secondary source as reference (a tabloid newspaper article) and the second being altogether unreferenced. I've replaced them with some sound information from a proper source, which I have referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.157.82 (talk) 07:06, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Lack of neutrality
This article is an exercise in shameless self promotion with little in the way of factual content.

Redirected Renewable Energy in South Australia
I've blank-and-redirected Renewable energy in South Australia to this article. While this article has its own problems, it is in a much better place, and holds more value than the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caboose221 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

2nd Interconnector
This article seems to suggest there's only 1 interconnector to VIC. What about Murraylink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murraylink ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.200.106.106 (talk) 15:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
