There is now about 1.2 GW of solar PV installed in the NEM, so the
impacts will still be fairly subtle at this point (peak demand around
36 GW).  If you focus on the regional data for South Australia, you
should definitely see an effect on spot market prices in SA during
high wind periods.

Cheers, Ben
