NEM-wide ‘Market Demand’ above 31,000MW on Monday 12th February 2024

A very short article with a snapshot from NEMwatch at 18:05 recording that NEM-wide ‘Market Demand’ at this point has reached 31,311MW:

2024-02-12-at-18-05-NEMwatch-31311MW

Quick notes:

1)  It has not happened much this summer that the demand (by this measure) has been above 30,000MW:

(a)  Only 2 days saw peak demand above 30,000MW at the end of January 2024;

(b)   Sunday 4th February 2024 was notably different.

2)  Note that all 4 x mainland region demand colours have risen out of the ‘green zone’ in response to the current temperature patterns.

Something we might refer back to later…

Background to Winter 2010 in the NEM

Inspired by the price spike experienced this evening, I have spent a little time to put together the background to winters in the NEM.

This will be useful in understanding the context of any other events that occur this winter, and are analysed on WattClarity.

And the winner for summer 08-09 is…

We noted yesterday, in the midst of the excitement, that the previous NEM-wide demand record had been beaten, by virtue of the heatwave assaulting VIC and SA over the day. We spoke too soon, however, as demand continued to climb through the afternoon.
