This is a simulation showing how Australia could meet its electricity demands using a large amount of additional renewable capacity.
Unfortunately the Australian electricity generation mix as of 2020 is made up of 54% coal and 20% and just 24% renewables [1]. Renewable capacity is increasing but at the current pace 90+% renewable generation is not likely to be achieved within the next 20 years.
You can check the live generation mix on electricitymap [2].
