At 16:01 on April 10, 2025, a system frequency dip was observed from the Global-Roam frequency logger which records at 100 millisecond intervals.
In this article we present three charts using the frequency data to provide an initial point of reference for any future analysis that, time permitting, we may perform.
Frequency dipped to 49.824 Hz and spent some time near the lower NOFB
Zooming in we observe some variability in the measurements between 16:01:15 and 16:01:23
The decline happened over relatively long period leading to only moderate rates of change

The implementation of the Primary frequency response incentive arrangements rule is driving change in how system frequency is controlled and paid-for. The changes stem from how the NEM will incentivise primary frequency response. 6 Years in the making The rule…
One of the many data sets being crunched as part of our analytical efforts underpinning the development of ‘GenInsights21’ is system frequency. In this short article today, we share some initial observations on how it has been changing.
Guest author, Allan O’Neil delves further into understanding what happened in response to the transmission tower failures on 31st January 2020 that sent system frequency in South Australia and led to a large reversal of flows.
