Hydrogen Sector

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (15:22): My question is to the Minister for Energy and Mining. Why is the government pursuing plans for a hydrogen power plant when advice from the Australian Energy Market Operator confirms it will be too slow to operate efficiently in South Australia's high renewables grid?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (15:22): It is not the advice that I have received.
