Right now, Tasmania is 94% renewable for production, and 83% in consumption.

The 6% non-renewable production seems to come from natural gas, and it imports a large amount of energy from Victoria.

It is good that they've achieved this, but their carbon intensity right now (for consumption) is 196g/KWh which is more than double the consumption for France
