West Australian government Energy Minister and state treasurer Mike Nahan said,
. . . solar PV would meet the daytime electricity needs of WA within the next decade.

He noted that solar was:
. . . . . . Cheap,
. . . . . . Democratic, and
. . . . . . Would displace the state’s aging coal generators.

Nahan has been presented with the reality of a state,
. . . which is something of a Economic basket case.

WA is not the only state, where rooftop solar will play a dominant role, in the future energy system.
. . . South Australia already meets more than 40% of its demand from wind and solar alone, and
. . . 2 coal fired generators will be closed, possibly as early as next year.
