Prices are “off the chart” in Vic and SA right now and likely for the next few hours. Factories will be closing. Diesel generators will be running, but only in South Australia and Victoria.

In QLD and NSW where there are old or evil coal fired plants the wholesale electricity costs are only $105/MWh.
