We have lots of interconnections with our neighbours, current and planned:

and we can see exactly where our main power is coming from or at times being exported to:

So at the moment I'm typing this we are exporting 3GW across the 4GW interconnector with France. Fortunately there is nothing connected to Russia or Ukraine.

When are you going to let WA join your interconnects? I don't know why they don't declare UDI.
WA is so far away nobody's seriously considered connecting them up. NT in a similar boat except they're so tiny it isn't worth it for that reason. But in both cases they're working on their own storage for their grids.

But it's all doable. We'll have completely fossil-fuel-free power in the coming decades.
