There is more to it. There are issues with maintaining synchronisation, and with connecting all of the power sources to the grid (noting that many renewable generators are in remote areas). Addition of these renewable sources is happening in a very ad-hoc manner, not planned and coordinated.
The network was designed to distribute power from a small number of large generators. It is struggling to cope with the demands of having thousands of smaller generators, putting wildly varying amounts of power into the network.
The Federal Government has vacated the field, failing to provide proper planning and coordination, which is why there are so many issues arising from the introduction of bulk renewable energy.

I’m not referring to the issues with the grid. What I’m asking is if we’re near to world best at transitioning to renewable power per capita, how is it that we’re so poor overall when it comes to emission reduction?
