Queensland’s turn to sweat today, but NEM-wide demand plummets

One image from NEM-Watch today to record a higher demand day in Queensland driven as the heat wave that afflicted NSW yesterday and the southern regions last Friday.

A higher demand day in Queensland in summer 2012-13

What’s most noticeable in this snapshot is how NEM-wide demand is amazingly low, for a summer week-day (because of the much milder conditions down south that are hopefully assisting with containment of the bushfires burning there).
