Note that's a winter peak you're looking at.

The highest summer peak appears to have been just above 13GW. http://www.wattclarity.com.au/2016/02/highest-electricity-de...

However your point still stands I believe.

But the summer peak is due to air conditioning during the day, when there's tons of "free" solar energy.
