Wind and solar power generation in South Australia (SA) has exceeded demand at some moments in the day as the state prepares to add its biggest battery yet to a growing energy storage arsenal.

SA saw over 130 percent of energy demand met solely by wind on Friday at 2:25 a.m., which was a new state record. Together, wind and solar also regularly exceeded 100 percent at certain moments in the day throughout the week.
