I’ve been told that here in Australia our “Green Power” system where well meaning consumers can pay extra for greener power is similarly broken.

A similar index for Australian power would be pretty useful.

It's absolutely an international problem. As we get more renewables on the grid, we need to move away from the annual accounting mechanism that hides daily and seasonal intermittency.

The amount of open data that's available in the UK is laudable and makes our analysis possible. But we do have some theories about how we can expand to other countries. Australia will be an interesting one, given renewable penetration.
