Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
Now that summer 2018-19 has passed, we can reflect on our experiences as a new entrant energy services company facilitating spot exposure for residential energy users – and hence expanding the scope for Demand Response in the NEM.
An interesting day in the NEM today, with prices gyrating across a wide spectrum, and across all four mainland regions – on the back of higher demand in Victoria and South Australia due to temperatures there, and supported by transmission issues and other factors.
1 Commenton "Evening volatility in QLD and NSW on Saturday 20th May 2023"
The NSW volatility events on 17 and 20 May and on 16 March were characterised by constrained VNI flows and high (2000 MW) Tumut hydro output. Is the VNI constraint causing the high hydro output or is the high hydro output causing the VNI constraint? Is there a lack of capacity in the Snowy 330 kV network?
