    $90 million seems like a fair price to pay for something providing quite a lot of value to the state. In comparison the government spent over $100 million trying to delay gay marriage by a few months.

    Surprisingly reasonable cost for a li-ion installation on this scale, especially if that $90M is in Australian dollars. Grid hookup infrastructure and all that included, it still comes to what, less than $0.50 USD/Wh? That's about as cheap as residential lead acid storage, without the headache of building so many distributed systems.
