Lot of folks throw shade because of how small South Australia and its electrical consumption/generation is, but it is a prototype of what the electrical grid future looks like. During sunny and/or windy periods, they run no more than ~80MW of natural gas generation (per electricitymap.org) [1] [2] for frequency response services (previously it was double that, but some synchronous condensers [3] were added to provide the grid services without consuming fuel in the process. A few more batteries and transmission lines, and that last bit of continuous fossil generation should be able to transition to peaker capacity [4].
