I was out-and-about today, but a string of SMS alerts kept me informed of the plunging level of demand – this snapshot I saved before the day was out, showing (at the time) a lowest point at 12:55 … however this was later superseded…
Here’s a trended view of three different measures of ‘demand’ using this query in NEMreview v7:
We can see in this query that:
1) The five minute period to 13:00 saw ‘Market Demand’ reach a low point of 1,977MW (so 106MW below the low point set on Sunday 2nd October 2022).
2) The thirty minute period to 13:00 saw ‘Operational Demand’ reach a low point of 2,195MW (so 90MW below the low point set on Sunday 2nd October 2022)
I assume that AEMO will be back shortly to confirm the low point for ‘Operational Demand’ officially…

Today the AEMO has issued this confirmation on Twitter of the low point mentioned above:
It’s also here on LinkedIn.
