Australian Users
OpenNem have a handy feature that lets you see renewables contribution to grid energy by the time of day, with averaging over the last 7-28 days.
You can look at the NEM as a whole or our individual state.
We include a live reading on percentage renewables on the grid in the app for users in the NEM (SA, VIC, TAS, NSW, QLD)
