Australia's evening gas generation fell 67% in a year, driven by batteries
Gas generation during the evening peak fell by 67% nationally in the year to August 2026. This decline was driven by large-scale and home batteries. The data comes from consultancy EnergyEdge analysis rather than official government statistics. This is a single-year trend.
Why it matters
This reduction indicates that battery storage is replacing gas power during the hours of highest demand.
