Winemakers cry foul as SA power prices soar

Bill Moularadellis, managing director of South Australian wine company Kingston Estate, doesn’t hesitate when asked to name the cause of a sharp and destabilising spike in the state’s power costs. “It’s partly due to solar, partly due to wind,” Moularadellis told The Australian Financial Review. He said Kingston Estate was doing its best to manage the impost, but it was hard when costs spiked at times of peak usage.
