A report says more than one quarter of South Australia's electricity generation is now wind-powered. The EnergyQuest report says wind power generated 26% of SA electricity last year, compared with 3% nationally. EnergyQuest chief executive Graeme Bethune said SA had become one of the highest users of wind power in the world. He said more wind farms were in the planning. "There's been an extraordinary growth in wind power in South Australia over the last five years. Five years ago it was less than 1%, in 2011 it hit 26% of power generation", he said. Mr Bethune said Victoria and Tasmania had the next highest levels of wind power generation.
