In the press release, the AEMO cite weather and reduced gas demand as reasons for the underlying change in dynamics:
“Favourable weather conditions toward the end of winter and reduced gas generation demand have allowed Iona to start refilling its storage capacity. Iona inventory is currently sitting at 44% or 10,736 TJ, while Newcastle LNG is currently holding 556 TJ, which is 36% full.”
Coincidentally, Goeff Chambers and Colin Packham published the article ‘Perfect storm’ warning issued to Australia’s east coast energy market last night on The Australian website.
