A cool change is sweeping through NSW (see the temperature in Sydney), and that’s really cooled the ‘Market Demand’ off there (now down to 11,537MW), but QLD’s still warm and humid, so ‘Market Demand’ is over 10,000MW.
Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
