MEDIA coverage of the inevitable shut down of Hazelwood power station gives an inaccurate picture of its implications. Victoria is part of an electricity grid that links all the eastern states, as well as Tasmania and South Australia. While Hazelwood accounts for 25% of Victoria's electricity production, it only accounts for about 4% of the eastern grid's electricity production. We can easily replace this with base load solar and wind power.
