As noted here just beforehand, next Monday is looking particularly ‘interesting’.

But that’s not to take anything away from today … which is seeing high temperatures (and humidity!) across many parts of Queensland driving demand higher.  Here’s a quick snapshot from NEMwatch at 15:45 with ‘Market Demand’ up at 9,389MW (well into the orange zone):

Here’s that same 3 x ‘Forecast Convergence’ widget view focused on QLD, but looking at P30 predispatch data to focus on later this afternoon/evening:
