Termperatures heat up in New South Wales and Queensland on the first day of summer

With a Beefeater 5 Burner BBQ on the line, along with a host of other prizes, interested participants of our annual demand forecast competition (entries now closed 🙁 ) would have been keeping a keen eye on demand during the week.

Summer officially began on Tuesday and by 10am we got out first taste of it with the thermometer reaching 35°C in Sydney and 30°C in Brisbane.

By the afternoon the temperate in Sydney had dropped slightly to 32°C but that didn’t stop demand in New South Wales rising up to 11,527 MW with prices hitting $365.07 at 3:45pm. Meanwhile, demand in Queensland also rose above 8,000MW at that same time interval.

Prices race in QLD and NSW as horses race in VIC

Tuesday 3rd November, and the temperatures that had driven prices higher in SA the previous day moved eastwards.

Whilst VIC demand was lower as everyone lost their shirts on a horse, demand climbed in NSW and QLD, dragging prices upwards as well.
