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.
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).
One of three founders of Global-Roam back in 2000, Paul has been CEO of the company since that time.
As an author on WattClarity, Paul's focus has been to help make the electricity market more understandable.
With hot weather forecast for NSW this Thursday (especially in inland areas) it’s no surprise to see that the AEMO is forecasting higher demand on the day. Linked to this there is also a slight negative (local) surplus generation forecast.
Today (Wednesday 24th July) we note how the Queensland lunchtime electricity demand is stuck in the blue zone – the uptake of solar PV, and a sunny day for Clean Energy Week, would be part of the reason.
